I am personally still partial to ansi-term over eshell, the only thing I wish it had was 256 color support, unfortunately integrating https://github.com/atomontage/xterm-color https://github.com/atomontage/xterm-color with it does not seem possible and the xterm-color author appears not to be continuing to work on their rewrite https://github.com/atomontage/xterm-color/issues/2 https://github.com/atomontage/xterm-color/issues/2 this said as much as I've been using emacs since forever (more recently also with evil-mode occasionally) I am really happy to see neovim gain better terminal support, because my usage of emacs skyrocketed when I discovered I could use it as a terminal replacement, and I am sure that vim users will take advantage the same way I have actually investigated running emacs -nw inside neovim terminal (as a reverse-alternative to evil-mode, because I doubt org-mode will become available in neovim any time soon), but last time I tried it it wasn't working that great due to meta etc. not being passed successfully to the terminal, there was an issue open on this so it probably will be fixed at some point
