PowerShell isn't a console or terminal emulator. It's a shell that uses conhost just like any other console application on Windows.


Powershell ISE is quite a good terminal emulator (even tho it wasn't intended as one), it's also extensible via addons and there are quite a few nifty ones like git integration and the likes.

This is the ISE in a default configuration https://imgur.com/xz9Kfpt On the left just an open terminal, in the middle a script which can be edited and executed at any time with F5, and on the right all the powershell commands which could be either immediately executed or inserted into your script with ease.

Unless you need tab browsing that much, which you can get via addons, the ISE is one of the best "terminals" out there imho.
