Am i the only one who feels fish is not worth it despite of hype? Don't get me wrong. I think that fish is really good shell.
BUT...
After adding the following plugins to zsh(before you chime in, it's just adding these lines,not anything configuring much. also it auto bootstraps on new install), I found out that fish is no where as good as configured zsh.

7) any good shell prompt generator like https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k
For example, I use fzf integration for tab completion. Fish's fzf integration is nowhere as good as that of zsh's. Also, posix compat and almost bash compat of zsh is plus.
I acknowledge that zsh isn't perfect shell either and I have tried and failed few times in past to switch to fish. If you provide me compelling reason/s to switch to fish, I am all ears.
- AnthonBerg 3y agoSincerely: What hype? heheh –I see fish as a mostly obscure shell with some design principles. It works for me. It’s a great tool. I tried zsh; zsh was a lot slower as I set it up. Maybe I did it wrong. I think the case is that with either of fish or zsh you can’t lose. Both are great.
- em-bee 3y agowell, one of the big benefits is that i don't have to set up all this in order to get the functionality, because fish provides it out of the box.
