Big reasons for me:
1) I love X11's bdf/pcf fonts. If someone can tell me how to get the text
in Terminal.app to look like the 9x15 font in xterm, I'll jump right at it.
Until then, I can't stand the apple fonts for terminal. The closest alternative
I found was glterm, but couldn't get the fonts to stop looking fuzzy.
2) xterm now scrolls faster then Terminal.app
3) Middle click to paste
4) copy on highlight
