Fix scrollback. Sometimes I run a command and it has 50,000 lines of output. Either I don't care about the output — in which case I should be able to click to fold it up and be able to see my history before that one command — or I do care about it, in which case I want every scroll, search and export operation that a full-fledged document editor would have.
In either case, UI latency shouldn't suffer, scroll bars shouldn't become unusable, my scrollback history before that one command shouldn't be thrown away — Mathematica notebook style, as another commentator suggests, might work well here.
