In response to your honest curiosity, I have to say honestly that I
haven't tried a lot of terminals :-)  I got into using Konsole because I
liked KDE, and particularly like the (re-nameable) tabs, translucency,
and easy configurability, including being able to hide the menu bar and
scrollbar. I'm sure there are other terms that do this :-)

I believe it may still be one of the few terminal emulators that's NOT
a rewrite of xterm, which seems to be considered a good thing :-)

As for i18n, it seems to handle Japanese reasonably well, but I have
sometimes had troubles with input.  It might have just been my own
ignorance.  I've never had a pressing need to input Japanese in a
terminal, and never tried hard to figure out why it might not be
working in a given case.
