Heh, fish shell contributors had a long discussion of failed wildcard expansions at https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/2394 https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/2394 . We all pretty much agreed that bash's passglob behavior is really bad. zsh's default is much better. Though to be fair, bash-style passglob behavior can be enabled in zsh by setting NO_NOMATCH. zsh is still zsh, after all. There's still plenty more wildcard nuttiness. A favorite is to execute a bare *: zsh will try to execute the first file, passing the other files as arguments!
