Drive-by armchair comment: it seems like the obvious answer would be to change the prompt depending on what mode you're in?

I find this criticism of xonsh's "modes" baffling. Xonsh is brilliant precisely because it isn't modal the way, e.g., vi is.

Xonsh lets you freely mix python code and command invocations in a highly transparent way.
