Comment 3 for bug 1030562

It's not just the nicer integration with the rest of the desktop. It's more importantly about using a much newer vte. After all, Terminator's main task is to emulate terminals. Currently it is stuck at using vte-0.28 which is 2+ years old.

There were plenty of fixes going into vte recently, and I have another bunch of important terminal emulation fixes and a totally cool new feature at https://github.com/egmontkob/vte-0-36-egmont which will most likely all make it into 0.36 (I'm actively in touch with the two main developers and they are supportive of my work), which in turn will hopefully be shipped by Trusty Tahr LTS, so it will be used by many people for the following 2 years. It would be really great if Terminator could catch up with these changes.
