Being able to just enter a partial command, and hit [up] to jump to prior commands that started in the same way in zsh is a godsend.

If you ever have to go back to bash, it supports it as well. In my bashrc:

bind '"\C-p":history-search-backward'

That's ctrl-p, but I'm sure the up arrow is possible too.

I use vim keybindings and have ESC,/ to do a reverse command search.
