fish-shell: the user-friendly command-line shell
Am i the only one who feels fish is not worth it despite of hype? Don't get me wrong. I think that fish is really good shell.
BUT...
After adding the following plugins to zsh(before you chime in, it's just adding these lines,not anything configuring much. also it auto bootstraps on new install), I found out that fish is no where near configured zsh.
1) https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/zinit (plugin manager)
2) https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/fast-syntax-highlightin...
3) https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/history-search-multi-wo...
4) https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions
5) https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-completions
6) https://github.com/Aloxaf/fzf-tab
7) any good shell prompt generator like https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k
For example, I use fzf integration for tab completion. Fish's fzf integration is nowhere as good as that of zsh's. Also, posix compat and almost bash compat of zsh is plus.
I acknowledge that zsh isn't perfect shell either and I have tried and failed few times in past to switch to fish. If you provide me compelling reason/s to switch to fish, I am all ears.

Zim – The Zsh configuration framework with blazing speed and modular extensions
Is anyone else mostly rolling with the zsh (not oh-my-zsh) defaults?
After so many years of using Bash I switched to zsh almost a year ago. I use the vanilla zsh set up with 2 plugins:
- https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/fast-syntax-highlightin... for very good and fast syntax highlighting
- https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions for auto-suggestions
I don't use a plugin manager, instead I put together a ~20 line shell script[0] which handles either cloning or pulling plugins, then you can load them in your zshrc[1].
I haven't found the need for anything else and my whole dev environment is based on using tmux, terminal Vim, etc.. Basically I spend a lot of time there in my day to day.

fish-shell: the user-friendly command-line shell
Best part of fish is how little config is needed. I’m 41, married with kids. Old AF by some standards. I have zero patience with wasting my time configuring tooling.
zsh felt like it fought me every step of trying to configure it to be halfway decent. And a lot of zsh scripts out there aren’t exactly bulletproof. It shouldn’t matter, except for the fact that if you use the shell with any regularity you will inevitably bump into edge cases that weren’t handled well by a mishmash of user scripts whose provenance is mostly copy/paste with little understanding of why it is all needed.
Here’s my fish dotfiles:
https://github.com/mattgreen/dotfiles/tree/master/fish
It has a submodule based plugin system (loader in conf.d), an async git prompt, my aliases, and a few env vars set. It needs no maintenance because fish provides almost everything already.
