I use M-x shell for most shell commands. This provides "infinite" scrollback, easy to grab output into the kill ring, etc. It's kind of like a temporary notebook (though easy enough to save). When I need a full terminal such as gdb -tui, I use a more traditional terminal emulator like gnome terminal.
