Awesome, I think this is kind of what I am going for re: the goodies. I am a tmux guy as well but will try them out.

I'm leaning towards Ansible as I wanted to learn it this year for VMs too. So there is some overlap with the local machines + am still on MacOS.

Curious why you went with fish over zsh? (Zsh is more common in my circles)

Honestly, fish just has a much nicer user experience OOTB for me than anything else I've used. The way it colors commands, arguments etc automatically was what sold me on it more than anything.

It's an excellent shell for interactive use. I would recommend writing actual shell scripts in Bash or good old POSIX shell however, if for no other reason than LLMs generate much better Bash code than Fish code. Zsh is similar enough to Bash that I haven't heard of it making much difference.
