That's how I've always used graphical workstations...as a way to
get a buttload of terminal windows.   (that's what they were pretty
much FOR in earlier times!)

I know it's probably of little consequence, but I use an app called
iTerm2 in OS X for terminals. It does a good deal better job of
handling multiple terminals, reusable bookmarks etc. than Apple's POS
Terminal.app ever did.

  Yes, it's very good.   I used it a lot of the time.

OS X does what I need it to (mostly desktopy Internety stuff) so I
keep it. I used to double it up as   a UNIX platform for compiling and
running OSS stuff too but I dropped it and used Debian and
derivatives on other x86 hardware instead - it just does more with
less for less.

  That's why I moved.   The desktoppy stuff works very well in the Linux
world now as well.
