Well on powerfull aspect of solaris command recall using the vi is the ability

I think this makes the speed difference.
Setting up the command recall is a 30 seconds task, so not being onboard on solaris don't think
that makes it big of an issue.
bsh did implement search functions for the command line using ESC ^p and ESC p
since 1984.
I've used tcsh with an ESC-ESC keybinding for searching for God knows how
many years.
Is "how many years a feature existed in some other commonly-used shell"
relevant to George's note of the advantage of vi mode over emacs mode?
Is "how many years a feature existed in some personally-developed shell"
even remotely relevant?
