Likewise, I don't use fish for exactly this reason. It seems extremely fine tuned to meet exactly the preferences of its developers, and eschews all further configurability. The Clippy comparison is brilliant, by the way, pretty much summarizes my exact feelings about the suggestions. I ended up back on zsh. It's a real shame, because fish adds quite a lot in terms of improved subshell syntax and intelligent string manipulation. Seems like someone should have been able to disable the suggestions using a plugin or something, given that IIRC fish has a plugin interface. But as far as I can tell no such thing exists.
