I tried to switch from XTerm to GNOME Terminal. It went well for a while, and better Unicode and emoji display was nice, but then a new version of GNOME Terminal came out which broke the ability to use the Meta keys for sending an ESC prefix; it is now hard-coded to only accept the Alt keys to do that. So I had to switch back to XTerm.
