Nope... I say that for two reasons...

1. Aterm is not commercial
2. I still use it by preference

Of course, since I wrote part of it, it's natural that it fits exactly what I
want and need, and comes in at less than 32K Current version, with Sliding
Windows Kermit removed).

If, on the other hand, you are talking about Amigaterm (AmigaTerm?), then I
still say it's better than Maxicomm.
