I'd love it if they added console tabs and text reflow / resizing to powershell

I use PS all the time - and it's killing me that I need 4+ windows open to account for all the different projects I've got to work on at the same time.

I agree. It's a big pain point for me. I've been using ConEmu recently which supports resizing and has tabs (among many other features). My favorite other feature is the tasks: you can define a set of steps to run as a task, then launch that task in a new tab.

I've been using ConEmu just for the tabs. You can even have Powershell open in some tabs and PuTTY open in others (although that's a bit of a pain to set up).

I really don't like the default ConEmu configuration, but it's flexible enough that you can make it do just about anything if you poke at it enough.
