Exactly. It's an option you have with pretty much every DE/Window Manager on
Linux. To be fair MS has the command prompt also, but it has it's limitations.
What's nice is we will always have a full fledged terminal/shell for those of
us comfortable with it while some of the desktop geared distros are bringing it
closer to where newcomers don't ever need to touch a command line. Not sure if
we are quite there yet, but it's gotten better.
