One of the interesting things Plan 9 did differently is that its terminal is rather more like a standard graphical text editor that happens to have the ability to execute a line. As someone used to unix terminals this was super jarring, but I can see where it would be nice.

I never gave Plan 9 a try so I might have misunderstood what you say but Emacs shell mode works in a similar way.
