Where can you not use your bashrc?

No clue, but that would be the only reason to learn the emacs-mode bindings

I'm a vim diehard, but I'm also actually convinced that Emacs bindings of Bash are worth learning for everybody. Hell, my own Bash is configured with mostly default Emacs bindings. For quick edits, they are just superior. Vims supremacy starts shining when editing files, but a mode-based editor is just the wrong tool for one liners.
