I head great things about Fish but I never took the dive.

I recommend it! Fish, starship.rs and `fzf` with the Ctrl+R and Alt+C keybindings continue to be my personal 80/20 for feeling comfy at the shell. Installing nvim and reloading my ~/.config using `chezmoi` gets me like 95% of the way there.

Being very obviously not Bash is a feature, not a bug, imo. It's usually pretty easy to turn Bash commands into Fish commands with the help of ChatGPT if you get stuck.

My Fish shell is pretty indistinguishable from my Zsh one but it has 5% of the config. You get amazing completion, themes, highlighting, etc out of the box.

The only plugin I use is for fzf integration because I can't live without it.
