I had the same objection, until I fired up ksh on my NetBSD/alpha
box.  Using my .shrc, everything works fine:  I have "EDITOR=vi" and
"set -o emacs" in there, and it gives me emacs keybindings for history
editing.  Hitting ESC twice in a row gets file completion.  I may have
to switch shells now...
