(Oh, and I'd have to add the TOPS-20 still is extremely nice, by any standard.) And line editing is much less needed when you have all the nice command completion in there. Don't hurt as much to delete a few words (with ^W) to correct something when it's so easy to re-input the stuff you deleted.
And you still have command history around.
