What does this buy over all the other terminal emulators? I see why the component is in IDEs so the developer doesn't need to switch apps to get to the terminal. Now a full fledged JVM shell that supports most of the commands we come to expect in a shell and also has the JVM and it's whole ecosystem at its fingertips, that might be something.

I'm breeding over the same thing. What can we do with this now that would't be so easy within other ecosystems that terminal emulators are typically written in (usually C I guess)?
