Interesting! It's like a shell but much richer, which does address the current limitations of text-only shells, especially with respect to interaction and copying in/out of data. I've seen a project like this before, can't remember the name, but it never came very far. I hope this one does.
Personally I like shells very much, but in many cases I do need limited UI interaction which is not very suited to text-only (tables, mouse hover, etc). This is a very cool intermediary between a full window-based GUI and a shell app.
I've thought about writing something like this but I'm happy to see it already exists.
