As readline was codeveloped with bash, I think it's incorrect to say it's not bash. It is bash by way of readline - additional information important for some contexts, not for others.

But not, sadly, ci" to change what's inside quotes.

As to your obviously troubling experiences with some vim users, I apologize on behalf of my sect. But tone down your characterizations - there are plenty of smug and superior emacs users as well. (For my part, I don't much care what others use as long as they actually learn their way around some sort of powerful editor.)
- dorfsmay 10y agoI'm a vim person myself. my issue isn't with vim vs emacs, but that people who choose vim as their editor don't switch their command line editing to vim mode, and find it both worse and ironic when it comes to the subset of vim users who are vocal against emacs!
- dllthomas 10y agoI think there's a fair amount of room for a workflow that does most meaningful commandline manipulation inside the editor, in which case leaving vim in emacs mode and "just" knowing C-r and C-x C-e could be sort of reasonable. I certainly understand being skeptical of "vim modes" - they are often incomplete in painful ways. As mentioned above, I often run up against the limitations of bash vim mode when trying to change what's inside quotes.
