Serious question (that I've asked elsethread): what does fish offer than zsh & bash lack? A quick perusal of the docs reveals nothing obvious, but … I could be missing stuff.
- ash 10y agoOther people indeed chimed in on your question in other comments. But here's my take about the most important fish features: * Instant auto suggestions, you just type stuff, like in a web browser. * Sane defaults, no need to bring around your own config. On a new machine I just install fish, run fish_config and customize the prompt with the web UI. * Scripting with simple syntax, especially for one-liners. Yes, fish is incompatible with bash, but it's less of issue in this case.
