> As for why I don't think that's their goal, just look at https://fishshell.com/ not one of the listed features requires them to drop POSIX compatibility entirely.
“Sensible scripting” is right there.

If you're running a script, you can use edc/bass to run it from a fish shell. Fisher is one of the first things I install after fish, then bass, z and a few other helper plugins.

I end up installing mcfly (https://github.com/cantino/mcfly) in all my shells, and it works great in fish as well.

I like https://github.com/PatrickF1/fzf.fish
Can also do cool stuff like search for a file to open in $EDITOR and searching git log

They recently added sqlite backed history. You can also use atuin[1] for more advanced usecases.

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.

Not to hijack, but also consider xonsh[1]. It's Python based, and all your scripts can be Python (or hybrid-Python). I've been using it for both Windows and Linux for over 5 years.

If you use Python, my project VirtualFish can make managing virtual environments a lot easier and more fun:

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.

I went through the initial config wizard of zsh exactly once, almost a decade ago[1]. It took me maybe 5-10 minutes, and even though I don't fully understand what each command means, I haven't modified it in all this time, and it works well. I really don't think this was any significant waste of time or tedious task - I was just as free to simply ignore it.
Most of the remainder of my zsh config are prompt utilities and other things I've added over the years. I don't use or really need any plugins, though if I needed, last time I tried zplug it was really easy to set up and use.
