I do get that, and thought that way too at first. In my case, I found that it being so trivially easy to do these 2 things made them things I did more often. Go ahead and make a thousand convenience scripts and aliases for whatever mischief you want to get up to. There’s no measurable effect on startup time between have 1 autoload function and 1,000. Because it’s free, and so dead simple to do, I never avoid it anymore. There’s no worrying of my startup script’s getting too long and slowing things down, so there’s no downside to doing the things that make my life easier.

For me, it unlocked a completely different mindset. Fish isn’t for everyone, any more than chocolate or steak are, and that’s cool. I’m glad we have options.
