Well, it's nice, but it's not as complete a vi as ksh's vi mode, 
which is too bad.

I also like the way tcsh allows ^W to back up to things like / and +,
not just to white space.

And I miss the asynchronous notification of tcsh and csh that's also
lacking in ksh.  

I've been told by devout ksh users that it's missing autoload functions.
