  • I eventually stopped using a plugin manager

    My local plugins directory lets me separate off all my git functions from my Python functions from my MacOS stuff from everything else - that along with 3-4 good external plugins and I’ve been really happy. https://github.com/mattmc3/fishconf
  • Fisher 4 — what's new?

    I love fisher! Thank you for all your work on this, and for keeping the development active. Fish does make so many things easy, so you're right - you don't actually need a plugin manager to get a great fish experience. In fact, if you really want to, in less than 20 lines of fish scripting you can load any directory like it's a plugin. But using a real plugin manager makes things even easier to manage. I've gotten a lot of milage out of Fisher over the years. Congrats on the new release and thanks again!

    I think fish's syntax is cleaner, though as others have pointed out, the incompatibility is often not worth it.

    Even though it's "sane", I would say it's not "powerful". It's significantly less powerful than bash:

    e.g. there is a list of missing things here:

    https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/159

    I have a particular viewpoint since I'm writing a shell for scripting, and I wrote this FAQ.
