Except if you are trying to do stuff across a number of boxes (4/5) each needing 2 ssh sessions, 10 xterms would be a nightmare as opposed to gnometerminal or konsole which keep things tidy and manageable all on one screen.
There are programs that work much better on an xterm than on gnome-terminal or konsole - for instance, Pine. Other, like 'mc', whose "F10" key for exit is captured by the gnome-terminal and interpreted to show the terminal menu instead.

OK, I just fired pine up but I have no messages in the INBOX, couldn't spot any differences between xterm and konsole, same goes for mc. Perhaps I'd have to be using those apps on a more regular basis to see the problems. As a KDE user I don't use gnometerminal and have yet to find a problem with konsole on SuSE, Mandriva or gentoo. Once konsole had matured, I haven't used xterm, multixterm (more or less same deal as xterm, a little less confusion but the same clutter even on 21 inch screens), rxvt or any of the other terminals available.
