On the topic of ways to improve the terminal, I'd like to see output separated from input.
Put the prompt 1/4 of the way down the screen instead of at the bottom. Above the prompt, we have a backlog of the commands we input. As we press up, it scrolls through the backlog, as normal.
Below the prompt, we see the output of the command.
I'd also like to see tab completion (and maybe some form of hinting) on programs, not just file paths.

That would be more fitting for a shell than for a terminal.

bash already does this. zsh and at least one variant of ksh will do completion if you type the first letter of a command. I was surprised that tcsh doesn't.
