I've used Fish for a while (my dotfiles tell me I've been using it for 8 years now... how the time flies! [0]) and decided to give Nu a try.
The main problem with Nu is that it can't really be used as a full-time shell because it doesn't support job control, so a lot of nodejs-based CLIs I need for my job seem to lock up the shell. I got around it by using pueue (a daemon that manages processes), but it's clunky to say the least.
I do think it'll get better as it matures, but I've been through all that pain with Fish and I'm not sure I want to put myself through that again.
