Littering the system with those @#$%! afiedt.buf files is bad enough but line
editting commands are an indicator of how much oracle cares for the user

Do you know how SQL*Plus was called during Oracle V4? (And maybe earlier, but this is as far as my history with Oracle goes)
They called it UFI, which means User Friendly Interface!
