In shell mode, all of Emacs is readily avaiable; in term mode, it
isn't.
Here's what I mean:
* in shell mode, you can easily scroll back to the beginning of the
buffer with M-<, just like any other buffer; I don't think there's
any way to do that in term.
* in shell mode, you can copy anything in the buffer -- your input or
the computer's output -- with M-w, just like any other buffer; I
don't think there's any way to do that in term.
Etc. etc.
