Well, Konsole has many nice functions.
I've tried to find something a bit more lightweight, but in the end, I always end up missing something, and in these days of 3 GHz CPU's and cheap gigs of RAM, I always end up deeming Konsole superior since it doesn't really matter that it's a tad more bloated.

Bloat isn't the issue, although I really hate QT, it's the fact that with screen I can detach from a session and reattach from another console. I generally have 1 screen session running on my home machine, I detach when I leave home and when I get into work I ssh into home and reattach that session and vice versa after work.

True, that's a nice feature, but when I'm at home, I don't really need all that, i try to keep my work and home separate, aside from the VPN 😛
 
That was only one example.

It allows me to restart X without losing any terminals.
I routinely reconnect to my screen session via ssh from friend's houses.
It has it's own copy/paste clipboard.
Each screen window has it's own history.
I can set screen to open any number of windows running commands on startup.
I can have each window create a seperate log for itself.
You can set screen to monitor one window while you use another and it'll popup a message when something changes.
 
Well, it all boils down to your needs, I don't really need that.
I sit at the same computer all the time, and I rarely restart my X server, even more seldom so now that I've moved to X.org, and every tab has it's own history, so I'm with you on that one 😉
Konsole to me is just a bunch of Xterms gathered conveniently in one tabbed window, exactly what I want.

Oh and I like QT, especially compared to GTK which I don't like much 😉
 
Oh wow... I'm happy to know that there are still folks that love enlightenment as much as I do. Even a Lifer or two. Always has been my favorite Window Manager, and probably always will be.
