Blink shell on iPad Pro, tmux, plain bash with a few aliases, vim with few plugins. No AI, no shell plugins, no junk on the screen to make it into a Christmas lights display. If your "shell interactions" feel slow try unloading some of the baggage. If you find the shell "archaic" try to reframe that as tried and tested and well-understood. The beauty of using the command line shell comes from the simplicity of plain text and direct interaction with the tools, not from trying to create a GUI experience or polluting it with Copilot assistance. I don't know about your setup with emacs, but both vim and bash can execute a line displayed in the terminal without adding anything to them.
