Lots. Xterm is everywhere. It's like using vim or emacs or bash. It's pretty much always there and always behaves the same.

- sneak 6y agoYes, but despite vim being there on tons of systems, nobody except vim users ever run it. Same for xterm. It's terrible and almost nobody uses it.
- cozzyd 6y agoSure, and so is Xeyes and ed, but that doesn't mean many people use it. I might use xterm on a remote system I vnc into that has no desktop manager but other than that I'm generally running everything in my local terminal emulator (and then often also in tmux). I'm sure I have xterm installed but I have never run it locally since like probably most people I just use the terminal emulator for my desktop environment.
