Command line history & tab completion in shells[1]. It pains me to watch
Windows users using cmd.exe have labouriously typing in 50 character
file paths one character at a time...and then typoing at the 45th
character & having to start again!

[1] Even I was truely astonished to see bash now tab-completes against
    *remote* filenames when entering an argument to scp !!!!
