IPython already makes for a pretty good bash/zsh/etc replacement for many things. You can get a GUI using the IPython notebooks as well. While I haven't made the switch completely yet, I always keep an IPython session around in an extra tab, since it is very often just much simpler to do something there than in bash.

By "tab" you mean tab in your web browser; do you not? (I ask because there are non-web-based IPython thingies.)

I actually meant a terminal tab (I'm using Tilda as terminal emulator). I'm only really using the web-based notebook interface when I need to display graphics for something.
