Really? `nix develop` still drops me into a bash shell, even though I pretty much always want to use zsh. Is there an option I have to enable somewhere?

`nix develop` is for entering an environment to build the packages, and packages are built with bash.

For "I use fish shell, and I want to load the shell.nix", it's more convenient to use direnv (which uses `nix print-dev-env`). https://github.com/direnv/direnv/wiki/nix

Another option is to use `nix develop --command fish`.
