Love fish, it's my default shell on my machine where I have a UI, Linux or OSX.
I do wish there was better bash compatibility though, it keeps me from using fish on remote hosts, and some of my work tools are not fish compatible. I usually just switch to bash for a bit, but then I don't have my normal completion, history, git branch identification etc that comes out of the box with fish.
I'm a huge fan of sane defaults. Fish strikes a great balance here where I feel zsh requires a larger minimum amount of effort to be comfortable.
- xigoi 3y agoBash compatibility and sane defaults are contradictory goals.
- stonecharioteer 3y agoI use fish, have been for 6 years now? I always default to bash for work scripts and nowadays use justfiles to bring them together. I don't like using fish for scripting, that's what bash is for.
