@b0rk That's nonsense, *nix is a complex beast and nobody can be reasonably expected to know everything even after using it for a long time. I've been using it for 24 years and I am still learning stuff including several things from your blog post, such as reverse-i-search being available in all readline programs, and the existence of rlwrap! So thank you for that.
I don't like having to memorize lots of different keybinds so I prefer to use vi mode in bash/zsh but this isn't always possible.
