I haven't gotten to implementing the TUI yet :) in the beginning it will probably just be a readline-based prompt, but when I have implemented ANSI escape sequence parsing in ncurses I will get to writing a proper ncurses TUI.

TUI (or even GUI) is a great thing I would be amazed to see a good shell equipped with yet it is not really necessary as far as I understand. Take a look at the FISH shell - it is quite colourful and has reasonable (not perfect but the best I've seen so far and already helpful) autocompletion already.
