Even as a pretty die-hard vi/vim user, I still use "emacs" mode on
the command line and then use fc or ^X^E (as LCD47 suggests) if I
actually need to perform complex edits. I find this mirrors my
vi/vim usage, where I want emacs-like commands when actually
adding/entering things (Insert mode and command-line mode), but if
I'm editing by making complex changes, I want the full power of
vi/vim to do that. I can even use

:r ~/.bash_history

to read in the history of commands if I want to find/select/edit a
past command.
