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.

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.
