Vterm: none that I can see

Eat: it's awesome, very good and fast and mouse input works out of the box

My weakest computer can fit twenty million lines of codes on it.

I'd say if anything, the usefulness of eat would justify a lot more. Thankfully doing one thing well lends itself to brevity, and storage is cheap
