May have been an interesting exercise for the author, but for practical use I don't see any point at all. Terminal windows are one application where the performance must be good (sluggishness eats into you productivity in a very concrete way), and no bloat because a power user often keeps dozens of them open at any given time. And it is anyway a solved problem. Until last year, I used xterm for these reasons exclusively, but then reluctantly moved to Xfce4-terminal because xterm does not handle clipboard interactions with Windows when running in VM very well. Xfce-terminal solves this and is almost fast enough. (And can also open web links from selected text, if you want that kind of thing...)
