What's the best terminal emulator for Linux right now?

I'm an emacs user so I don't want any of that vim key config bullshit.

I used Sakura for many years. These days, I don't care about what terminal emulator I use anymore, as long as the fonts are readable.

Though there was nothing special about Sakura. It just used libvte and GTK and was okay.

Looks pretty neat desu. I really hate that we still have to deal with shitty 1970's terminal escape codes in most terminal emulators.

Sometimes it will randomly start taking up hundreds of MB of memory and I need to close it and open again. Why? How do I fix it?

M-x shell for a dumb terminal, and M-x term for a terminal that can be used to run programs in it.
You can run shell with a prefix argument to give a name to the shell buffer so you can have multiple terminals.

As for something outside of Emacs, I use lxterminal.

Urxvt with emacs keybindings.
>>
>>55036361
If by emacs keybindings you mean the shell you are using, then bash has emacs keybindings by default, so you don't even have to care about that.
Just try using emacs commands in bash, and they should work. There are only some small differences between default GNU Emacs keybindings and keybindings in bash.
