I did never unserstand why someone would use vi methods at
the shell prompt. The interface is bad to use because you need to know
the state of the editor.

I designed an interface that is superior to ksh and bash in 1982 and I
integreated into a real shell in August 1984. Since then I use my own
shell (bsh) on all systems I have access to. The only senseful fallback
is the bash even though the input mapper used in bash is still full
of bugs (try make heavily use of ESC sequence generating function keys
to understand why).
