it's zsh without having to add in all the plugins. on my NixOS systems zsh+plugins caused it to run slow. Fish just doesn't have that issue as everything is baked into it. setting up functions is also a breeze and the built in themes are great. just one install and no need to configure much if anything.

yeah pretty much every zsh plugin loader have filed issues about the long load times and running slowly. fish just doesn't have that. it starts as fast as zsh with no plugins, and it's a better all around experience.
