That is perhaps a tautology.
Emacs treates session history as a live "editor document".
Yes, I suppose you are right if using emacs as an IDE -
my preference and normal environment is an old fashioned
terminal - maybe it is just the comfort of familiarity, but
I find the line recall and stored history a useful adjunct
to the immutable terminal session/scroll memory. I don't
normally invoke j while in a script editor (i use vi), but
rather use the saved script in the terminal window - this
seems rather similar to suggested use of ijx vs ijs windows,
but in my case the executable window isn't editable (and
I like/appreciate that)...
