Terminals are helpful?
It’s not clear what you’re interested in here. Why use a terminal in emacs as opposed to a separate program? Why these over eshell?..
Can you call external programs like GCC with eshell?
Vterm: none that I can see
Eat: it’s awesome, very good and fast and mouse input works out of the box
That does not justify 5000 lines of code
They are just another terminal emulator, not much else. So the point? Not much if you use emacs as just a text editor.
If you are more intergrated into the emacs environment there are features that you may find useful such as directory tracking. Worth checking out their project pages to see if they make sense in your work flow.
Vterm or eat would be a must for EXWM users.
