Does not work with some command line apps, such as plink (SSH Command-line tool)

Try running plink.exe (Putty's SSH command-line tool) using PoshConsole. When it asks for input (e.g. username), instead of displaying the username prompt it gets stuck and does not show you the prompt and does not let you input anything, either.

There was no way (back then) to support apps that use raw Console APIs instead of stdin/stdout.

Today, we might be able to do it (on Windows 10 only) using ConPTY, but I'm not sure if it's really worth it to me -- it's not truly meant as a generic terminal at this point...
