The problem with a lot of these tools is that they fight with the shell to provide the UX enhancements (the comments in this thread are littered with people commenting that this new terminal breaks basic feature X, Y or Z. Really what they should be doing is working with the existing command line primitives as a hook for their UX enhancements.
I know those existing primitives are 50 years old and suck in a great many ways. But the alternative is having a terminal that only works some of the time.
This is field I'm actively experimenting in too. And have already had some degree of success despite the project being only a couple of months old: https://github.com/lmorg/mxtty
My point is this: any refinements to the terminal interface shouldn't break support for terminal applications. But all to often (this term included) form is now prioritised over function.
