LOL! Wonderful.
OK, so after 24 hours using terminator I am hooked. Konsole does have the ability to split the screen multiple times, but only in one orientation, either horizontal or vertical. terminator is much more flexible in this, allowing a nice combination of horizontal an vertical splits within the same window. And it does have tabs, as well as a nice banner in each terminal frame that provides information about that terminal session including the host and directory.
I have found terminator to be very flexible and helpful when doing development. It is very powerful when used with multiple terminal frames in combination with the screen program.
Thanks so much for making me aware of this really elegant terminal program. Perhaps others who read this will find it useful as well.
