I have most of my shell history back to 2005(?).
Each terminal gets its own new history file.
99% of the time, I never look at it, but when I do need to look at it, it has been great. My boss once asked me: "What args and screening file did we use when we made that one-off DB 4 months ago?" Was able to check and confirm it was correct.
Or for personal use: "Where did I move that folder of pictures?"
