I've always used !$ to get the last word of the previous command like so:
mkdir -p foo/bar
cd !$ # => cd foo/bar
I suppose the advantage of `ESC, .` is universality since it'd work inside any readline prompt? Not sure how frequently I actually need to do that outside of bash but going to keep it back of mind in case I do, thanks
I like the interactive nature of esc-., you can keep "up arrowing", to a value a few commands ago and crucially: edit the value. (add/remove `tgz`, etc)
