I agree that React is a good choice for extension developers, but not necessarily react-dom. The web lacks efficient keyboard navigation. What you have is effectively a Jupyter Notebook for the CLI. I by no means want to dismiss the value of that, but there are two possible paradigm shifts that also deserve your attention: 1. The Command-Palette pattern. See [The History of Command Palettes: How Typing Commands Became The Norm Again](https://www.vendr.com/blog/consumer-dev-tools-command-palett...) 2. Keyboard-accessible UI primitives. Raycast have recognised common terminal use-cases and built general-purpose interface components [1]. They implemented a custom React reconciler for their UI. The downside of Raycast is, that it's proprietary for MacOS only. I believe a Terminal that capitalises on the above two points while staying FOSS could revolutionise Unix/Linux CLIs.
