I love using terminals and I've always wanted a VR window manager so I've put some thought into how it could work.
I've always envisioned an infinite 2D plane. I would love a terminal that stretches off forever above me, like the Star Wars opening text. Or a spreadsheet that goes on forever in 2 dimensions.
You could also embed your 2D-non-euclidean spaces in 3D. Want to enforce 80 character line wrapping? write on the surface of a cylinder that literally wraps around after 80 characters.
Another idea could be to use depth instead of colours for syntax highlighting. Comments could pop out of the page.

I think there are a lot of possibilities.
