I've tried fish a few years ago and wasn't all that impressed with the features.

That said, the new version is just ace! I gave it 30 minutes and it basically does everything I do with zsh right now. All that with about 5% of the configuration effort I put into zsh. Plus, it's so much faster than zsh.

I'll give fish a go as my main shell. Let's see were this goes.

Felt the same. Fish worked out of the box, but left me unimpressed about its abilities compared to zsh (well, I'd give it the same score as to zsh) until I realised I hadn't configured anything beyond generating man-completion files. I'll leave fish lying around so I can alt-tab to it and check it from time to time
