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
