I'll have to agree with JBF that job control is the greatest thing
since the wheel. I don't think I ever sit down in front of my terminal
without having multiple processes running. The biggest win is for
program development. I always have the editor fired up on one job
(where I switch between files, btw), and fire up make (often in
backgroud) and still have my shell available for random things (mail and
the like).
I thought the references to blits were interesting. But
seriously, can you imagine a university going that direction? It
looks like this one is going the route of cheap terminals (Z19's, ADM5's).
