Fish made me write better bash scripts because it gave me a proper understanding of IFS, test, and other shell “basics” since it removes a layer of automagic by simplifying the syntax. Eg fish discourages the use of `if [` and it makes you realize that the bracket isn’t a grammatical construct but rather a terribly named command.
