shell for vim

The :shell command does not work very well. It keeps inserting control
chars into the output.

I tried ConqueTerm bash. It is an improvement over the default :shell,
but it is not very robust.

I cannot see why is so difficult to implement a shell escape for vim.
I would appreciate if vim had a robust shell, like the one in Emacs.
Maybe it has, but I don't know how to use it. For instance, is there a
way to remove the control chars from the :shell output?

For the time being, I am using Evil. However, Evil is not as small as
gvim.
