Somehow it does. Having the terminal embedded would reduce the number of
windows you have to cycle through. It also makes switching from browsing
to the shell and back easier and faster.

Embedded terminals of course have to be simplified (no tabs e.g.), but
I'd consider this an interesting feature due to personal preferences.
