How does it compare to fish shell (especially fish’s great autocompletion), e.g. why are you not switching completely?

nu is still in its infancy, and currently lacks critical features of other shells, which is why I haven’t switched completely.
As for the future, perhaps a bit brazen, but I’m confident that other shells will introduce the core feature of nu in the near future to stay competitive. I can see fish having a “||” operator and rewrites of a few gnu functions to achieve what nu does natively.
