not OP but the two features of fish that stood out for me so much that I make it my default shell on remote servers are

1) the autocomplete suggestion as you type a command [1]

2) scrolling thru commands after partially writing one only shows entries that match the written text

3) knowing if a command will work before pressing enter -- saves from a lot of gotchas.

all of these read like features nice to have but not essential, but when you're using something every day, it's worth it :)
