In no way did I mean to minimize usefulness of being familiar with the past. My natural tendency would be to focus on why it was added (and my first draft or two had that in more detail), but my primary reason for trying to focus on the present is that's what the question asked. Plus, other answers mentioned the past, and I tried to make a useful answer by adding to what's been stated, instead of just duplicating what's already said elsewhere on the page. | |

You tell you want to focus on the present but finally conclude "One of the reasons why Unix/Linux currently provides multiple terminal emulators is because it did provide them in the first place…" | |
