The standard Python interpreter is crap. One should use IPython. I'd like to see a comparison with that one.

The standard repl for Steel Bank Common Lisp is worse than Cpython's with no basic readline support. The Common Lisp environment really shows its strengths when using a fully interactive development environment like a Lisp machine environment or Emacs with SLIME.
I'd call it the "built-in repl" rather than the standard one, since I don't think it's actually standard for people to use it directly.
CLISP has readline support.
