I totally agree Terminus is an awesome font. Use it myself. And yes, I use it in vim in an xterm all the time. Emacs takes a second or so longer to start, so I use vim.
Italics and bold? Well, that's underline and doublestrike. And that's not near as important to me as the lack of a proportional font that looks good without hinting and antialiasing. Sure wish there was a proportional version of Terminus.

I personally use terminus, and I use the bold features extensively. started on 1024x768, and still using it now on a 3840x2160.
but i think the pixel aspect is crucial for it to work. whenever i need a TTF, I prefer Deja Vu Sans Mono (or the various identical fonts). and yes, sometimes i like to see a lot of code so i switch to Deja Vu Sans Mono and zoom out like crazy. the effect on the big screen is really cool.

Not just for programming for setting it for rxvt/xterm.
If terminus doublestrikes for bold, that's good enough. I still think anonymous-pro looks better :)
