The Fish Shell Is Amazing
I'll put it this way: Nu shell seems perfectly supportive of my philosophy that a shell is basically a REPL for a computer, and they're taking the ergonomics of an interactive REPL along with the programming language that powers that REPL seriously.
The thing is, there's currently NOTHING GOOD for "shell scripting". Shell sucks (yes it does), so for anything more than very short things I'd rather write Python. But Python sucks for shell-like things, parallelization, it has slow startup, and you also can't do things like put environment variables into your session or change the working directory, so you often wind up writing shims (eg. Broot's br alias - https://dystroy.org/broot/install-br/).
Yes I've looked at Xonsh but maybe the additional syntax is offputting to me. Like, I wouldn't use it as a shell over Zsh (how's Xonsh's fzf support? I don't know, but I know everything's going to support Zsh), and I dunno if I want to use its syntax extensions over just Python. Though It's always on my list of things to re-explore, and maybe it'll click one day. But it being based in Python makes it feel slow (I wrote my prompt in Zig to get it to be fast...)
This is relevant to mention: I wrote a small Python library (https://github.com/kbd/aush) that's basically a DSL for subprocesses, so it tries to make it more convenient to do shell-like things. I find it preferable to shell or Python alone most of the time. Here's an example of its use in my script that creates a new Python project: https://github.com/kbd/setup/blob/master/HOME/bin/create-pyt...
I haven't figured out a convenient way to implement shell piping well with Python's pipe operator, or pass through interactive output directly (so things that "update" the display, like poetry and npm don't behave the same as they do interactively) so it's still .9 status, but it works really well for what it is, and you can always write "regular Python" along with it.
Anyway, Nu seems to be an attempt to put a "real" programming language REPL in my shell, from people who have serious language experience, so I'm hopeful it'll be great.

[Question] What are the best plugins for zsh ?
More on topic, I use zim, but mostly write my own plugins/modules/ad-hoc/post-hoc scripts
- Which apps do you install first on any new Mac?
-
Current state of plugin managers
Iām using zimfw Flexible and fast. https://zimfw.sh

Why should I care wether my shell is POSIX compliant?
I was using oh-my-zsh as my plugin manager for a long time and startup speed was probably much slower than fish (although normal usage wasn't) because omz enables a lot of features and plugins I didn't need/use. I went to prezto and then antigen as plugin manager and for the last couple years I have been using zimfw, which is great compromise between a plugin manager that can add and update plugins, and literally just generating a small bootstrap script that just sources the plugins and otherwise is entirely out of the way.
- If you've just installed Arch recently and want to save some time, this zsh config might help you

What's your preferred shell & why?
zsh with zim framework
-
when you forget the sudo on a long command
switch to zsh isntead of bash and use pre prepared framework for it, I like zim zsh

Long time zinit user looking to trim down my configuration while maintaining easy plugin/binary setup
I moved most of my config over to zim -- been pretty happy for the most part. I see that zinit got forked, which makes me happy, that was a mess and what made me look elsewhere. Hopefully the new committers can do it well.
