I used Terminate 5.0 in the past, but now PuTTY, and SyncTERM is also nice.

I'm an XTerm snob. On all OSes.

I use the default terminal emulator, except for KDE's Konsole. Something about there being a "K" instead of a "C" makes me irrationally angry and I have no idea why. I lost all motivation to continue testing Nobara KDE seeing console spelled that way. If it was KConsole, similar to the other default apps, it woundn't bother me.
It even matches my feelings towards English spelling. We have K for the "Cat, Kick" sound. We have S for the "Sand, Celebrate" sound. We only need C for the "Chew, Chalk" sound. But still, seeing it spelled as "Konsole" makes me mad.

QTerminal, urxvt, mate-terminal and Konsole are, in my experience, the four terminals that work best.
I frequently use urxvt.

Despite being just the default of KDE, Konsole is actually quite a feature complete, compatible terminal.
That is, there's a lot of weird and obscure commands in the bytestream of VT. Things like for example sixel. xterm is pretty good at compatibility, but xterm is not pleasant. Konsole happens to be quite compatible while also having decent customization and features.
