Why in Mímir's name do error messages and output get written to where
my input is echoed?



This could to be an interesting idea. I'm thinking 3 column terminal
(stdin, stdout, stderr), as well as remote control...

Commands should of course write exit codes/strings to the line where they  
were invoked, i.e. the stdin column. Stdin being visible only when the  
terminal has access to a keyboard would serve as a good focus indicator.
