Yeah. Fish just simplifies life everywhere. No longer do I need to care about those silly files or other configurations for basic stuff like search history.
Alright stranger, let’s hear it. What is it about Fish that you love so much?
I’ve been generally happy with bash or zsh, pretty much whatever is installed by default (and I honestly don’t know the difference between the two I just mentioned 😬).
I have sort of been eyeing fish on and off for years. I enjoy my oh my zsh setup and have it somewhat customized. I use a modified version of the funky theme. (I can share if interested.) When I’m at work I don’t try new things that might affect my productivity (like trying a new shell) and when I have motivation to do techy stuff in my free time I really need to utilize it to do what I want because my focus really meanders.
I feel pretty productive with CLI stuff. Fish does look nifty though. I’ll give it a shot sometime. Oil has been intriguing too, I’ve enjoyed reading updates about it over the years back on r/programming. https://www.oilshell.org/cross-ref.html?tag=OSH#OSH
Switching to Fish was the best decision I ever made in my terminal. Besides using tmux.

That’s fair. But look at it this way, when you’re at work you’re being paid for it, and you might eventually improve your productivity.
Also, you can have a look at oh my fish, it’s an alternative to omz I used before switching to starship.
