I actually still use terminals.  For normal work, I use DECterms (on a
VMS machine, of course), but consoles for nodes in the cluster are
terminals.  Also, for standalone test machines I have a terminal as the
console.  I am thus independent of anything running emulation and
low-level stuff (such as an unexpected baud rate) is easier to sort out 
with a terminal.
