Okay, but is it a matter of fish not working or fish not working the way you're used to because you learned to use sh-like shells first? The people I hear praising fish the most are very often users who didn't have much experience before using it (not always, but often).

Granted, that still is a fair point IMO; backwards compatibility is for users too, not just programs.

For flavor, I maintained the bash-completions script for FreeBSD in the early 2000s, and now I’m a Fish advocate. I love it because I’ve used the others.
