Are there any good alternatives to the Ubuntu Terminal that have special features, such as running several visible tabs at the same time?

Also, I like to use X-Term, and it is just as easy to open multiple versions, and it gives more detailed error reports

You can actually have several tabs in Terminal!
All you have to do is press Ctrl+Shift+T and it will open up another tab!
This may not answer your question entirely, but I figured I would post this answer just as a heads-up in case you didn't know.

1-1: a lot of these are not terminal emulators, and you miss all those that you haven't installed. – muru Sep 08 '15 at 19:59
