When I evaluated my transition from bash to something else over the years, I found fish to be more cost-effective to maintain. Many times, I only need to install the distro package to feel comfortable, instead of loading all my dotfiles and things like oh-my-zsh. Out of the box, effortlessly, I have autocompletion for commands; puts tabs/indentation automatically whenever I start an ad-hoc multiline command inside a for/if statement; a color prompt; etc. I use fisher for plugins and now have more functions in my dotfiles, but it has far fewer dependencies — like 3 or 4 plugins. When I tried zsh, I immediately added several plugins with oh-my-zsh to feel comfortable. I'm evaluating zellij instead tmux for the same reason. Some extra batteries included for free, but staying simple enough to keep.
