To reinforce this last point:
There are places (servers, offline machines for special purposes like
industrial control etc.) where installing all the dependencies of the
newer interactive terminals is hard or not possible at all. For these
situations, it's good to still have an option to work interactively with
a terminal that depends on X and little else.

That said, I can confirm that the Qt terminal now feels about as fast as
the X11 one, while being much more comfortable and prettier.
