I switched to Fish about half a year ago after reading Julia Evans' essay singing its praises: https://jvns.ca/blog/2017/04/23/the-fish-shell-is-awesome/ https://jvns.ca/blog/2017/04/23/the-fish-shell-is-awesome/ I think what convinced me was the last point: if you really can't do what you're trying to do in Fish, firing up sh/csh/ksh/bash/python/xonsh costs virtually no effort.
