I have used fish for so many years I have lost track. Maybe 10 years. Occasionally I need bash and then I just launch a bash shell. But I have gotten fish to work with pretty much everything I need without problems whether prompts or Python environments.

Fish excels as an everyday interactive shell. I never program shell scripts. I write Julia code whenever something equivalent of a shell script is needed. Before that I often used Go.

What do you use for Python environments? I couldn't get that to work properly the last time I tried.

I've been using Fish for years and spend my entire day working with Python. Python's virtualenv has an `activate.fish` command, I've never had any problems with it. Additionally, we have a ton of internal tooling built in a fabfile, so I've written a couple of snippets of fish that automatically activate that .venv (Poetry managed) whenever I cd into a directory that has one, and also expands a bunch of env vars into the shell session. I've also got this feature request in on the virtualenv repo in the hope that one day we can have activate.fish emit an event - https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/issues/1456
