As Windows console window enhancement (local terminal emulator), ConEmu presents multiple consoles and simple GUI applications (like PuTTY for example) as one customizable tabbed GUI window with various features.

Moreover, due to deep integration, ConEmu is the best companion for Far Manager (FAR in Wikipedia), my favorite shell replacement.
