Not GP, but since 90% of of my sporadic scripting is "searching on SO how to do something somewhat complicated that I'll never do again so it's not worth the time to learn how to master it", bash is (oddly enough) a lot easier to use here since looking up how to do it in Fish is a lot more hassle.
Similarly, if you want your code to be portable, bash is a safer bet.
- mocko 9y agoI put that badly. Fish certainly does support scripting, but as a relatively niche piece of software you get bad portability (everything has bash) and poor maintainability (because everyone else scripts in bash). Fish is a great shell and maybe this will change, but at the present time I'd be doing my clients a disservice if I wrote them tools in a language few others could work with.
