OK, you've finally convinced me to switch. Which means, of course,
that you'll been the primary target for my "how to I do the following
thing that I can do in bash in zsh?" questions.

Firstly, how do I make ^H-Backspace delete a word like it does in
bash? e.g. I like the fact that when I have a long and hairy path like
/usr/local/games/FooBar/data/saved/, I can hit ^H-Backspace and it
sheds one piece of the path, becoming /usr/local/games/FooBar/data/.

I'll write a "Quick-N-Dirty Guide to Migrating from Bash to Zsh" for
your troubles. :)
