Is this still going to be using the absolutely dreadfull conhost? Because that's the biggest shortcoming windows currently has with its interactive command line tools, cmd.exe and powershell are both usable, not great (okay, pretty bad honestly, but usable) when you don't consider the shitty terminal they force you into using.

Maybe you should try Take Command. I've been using it for years. It re-displays Win32 consoles in its own tabbed user interface. It provides its own command interpreter (with all sorts of extra stuff), but one can also use it for Microsoft's command interpreter, Bourne Again shell, Z shell, PowerShell, and so forth.
