People who have replaced fish with something else (other than bash and zsh) after using it for a significant time, to what and why?


I used fish for a few years and finally switched to zsh. I wouldn't consider myself a super shell power user, so eventually I got tired of trying to make standard things work (such as nvm and similar helper utilities). Yes there are workarounds and solutions but I just wanted plug and play for stuff I'd find in the wild. Turns out that zsh with ohmyzsh has much of fish's functionality (that I utilized anyway), so I'm happy with it.


yeah nvm is a pain on fish, I ended up using the real nvm with:

    fisher install FabioAntunes/fish-nvm edc/bass

FYI most of these things are available as part of oh-my-fish[1]
