I tried bash first, with every bell and whistle added. I tried all the scripts and tuned my .bashrc and .bash_profile and PS1 and all the crap. It was a huge chore.

Then I tried switching to zsh with oh-my-zsh and all that. 42 million tunable bits and I still didn't get it to my liking.

Then I found Fish and 95% of the stuff was good enough out of the box. The only things I've really added was Starship[0] as a prompt - again good enough with pretty much zero configuration and fzf[1] for history search.

Now I use it everywhere, synced via Homeshick[2]

I still use bash to write shell scripts that aren't long enough to be converted to Python though.

You summed it up better than me, I agree with 99% of what you said :)
