I turned off the blink and actually prefer it this way. One issue I haven't seen discussed is that if the text cursor is blinking, then it's invisible about half the time, so one has to stare at the window for some period of time, averaging maybe a second, to locate it. If the text cursor is non-blinking, then it can always be seen immediately, so there's probably a productivity gain for the user.
I should mention also that there appears to be a bug in that even after the blinking is disabled, occasionally I'll see my gnome-terminal text cursor blinking anyway. It doesn't happen often, but twice I've seen the blinking (once on each of two machines), then checked System/Preferences/Hardware/Keyboard to verify that it was disabled. After doing this, I noticed that the text cursor was no longer blinking. These machines were fully updated.
