The command line, in terms of the terminal emulator, really needs to evolve to more of a Meta-X mini-buffer pattern.

People keep circling around the sweet spot which is a fixed location command input area that outputs, in addition to text streams, any variety of multi-media.

On one end you've got a set of people doing heroic designs in the terminal with all variety of UTF-8 characters. On the other end you've got things like Jupiter Notebook.

What I'm looking for is something like the Mattermost UI without the chat aspect being front and center. Or Emacs, but with the ability to embed Youtube videos in a buffer.
