And a properly configured xterm has a properly functioning keyboard. 
Given the choice between the two emulators, I'd much rather use E11, 
but as a hobbyist that can't afford a full version of E11, I tend to 
use SIMH for most things.  SIMH also has the advantage of running on 
my Mac, which is good since these days I rarely have another Unix box 
up and running.
