I love a good terminal. But help me understand, why for Android?
Because why not! Easy way to SCP files over, run scripts. Repurpose old devices as always on, low power servers. It ties in nicely with Tasker so if you want to extend functionality it's easy.
I mostly use it to ssh into my raspberry pi at home
I can use the same tools/scripts on my phone that I use on desktop (using mostly terminal apps there, too)
Because Android is based on linux.
