Sounds amazing. If it ever gets a relatively active plugin ecosystem like zsh or fish, I'd definitely switch. Being able to write shell functions in Python would be very refreshing.

If they want bigger adoption, dedicating a bunch of people who do nothing but port zsh and fish plugins would probably go a long way.

We have a couple of dozen very handy plugins available already (powerline, conda support, etc) and are always looking for more!

Curious: What zsh/fish plugins do you think are missing from xonsh?

Is there a plug-in for fzf searching your command history?

Since I've not used fzf, I don't know how good this is, but there is a "xontrib" (i.e. plugin) for some of fzf capabilities in Xonsh:
