Keep in mind that some of us have been using Unix-style systems since *long*
before readline existed, so all the fancy 'command line editing" didn't exist, 
and
before shell history sprouted all its fancy features. So alternatives were 
invented.

And muscle memory is hard to overcome.

(Says the guy still using e16 as a window manager rather than Gnome, mostly
because of muscle memory type reasons)
