friend brought me some seashells
i am using ZSH cause Fish is not POSIX compliant,which made it annoying to run scripts without rewriting them.
Where's tcsh?
I use fish because it was the default in cachyos and decided to give it a fair shake. I like the built in syntax highlighting and fancy autocomplete but I miss bash scripting and built in commands that replace standard commands can be weird sometimes. I have not tried scripting fish, to lazy to learn yet another scripting language, especially if bash is the (almost) de-facto standard.
You can always just continue using bash scripting, with a bash shebang in your scripts, if you miss it
That's what I do. Fish is great as interactive shell, scripts don't benefit that much from it and I can use what's familiar.
The Web site for fish reads:
Finally, a command line shell for the 90s
I love them and always will.
Heh. Good stuff.
More! ;D I want to see all the shells, characterised so.
... Fish [over[1]]user here. Ooh, good burn. LOL.
[1: Not just user. Overuser. I do most of my scripting in fish. Think that's not overuse yet? ... I even wrote my own text editor in fish.]
I think I'm using fish and it works great, I love alt+s thing and auto complete thingy.

I can't begin to say how superior my fish rice is to any alternative. So I won't. And I'll leave yall to flame me for implying it.
All we ask of you is that you don't reheat it in the employee break room microwave.
