Is it really a “bug” if you’re writing incompatible code for Fish? Bug implies unexpected behaviour but I’d argue that Fish’s non-POSIX behaviour is well discussed, documented, and thus should be completely expected.

AFAIR the problems using fish tend to be when other programs (e.g. vim or whatever) try and interact with the shell and it's non-POSIX compliant.

The "expect it to work, didn't" is more on the user's side, going from e.g. bash to fish.

I know it was just an example but on any Vi clone you can set the default shell:

   :set shell=/bin/bash
