I'm a fish user, actually. That said, for those on zsh who want some of fish's most prominent user features without leaving, check out zsh-syntax-highlighting[1] and zsh-autosuggestions[2]. These are rather popular so long time users may not benefit from these suggestions.

- dEnigma 6y agoInteresting. I also used fish for a while after looking at bash alternatives, but ended up with zsh, because fish had some (admittedly minor) inconveniences/bugs, and zsh felt more mature. But very soon I had to install the two extensions you mentioned because my shell felt really incomplete without them after fish.
- jhvkjhk 6y agoMy journey is the opposite to you, I started with zsh and those two plugins. It's good to have bash like syntax (easy for copy paste from the web), but the slooooooooow startup speed really annoys me, so I give fish a try and now I'm impressed by its speed and feature.
- Hamuko 6y agoI actually chose fish over zsh since I didn't want to spend time configuring zsh. fish was pretty much okay out of the box apart from colour scheme.
