    I’ve been running fish from the development branch for about a year, and I’m happy to say that nothing about it feels like it’s beta. It’s rock-solid (IMO) and my favorite shell 🐟

      Fish is a surprisingly good shell.

      It’s not POSIX compatible, but I don’t really care, it only executes its own scripts / functions. It’s not as innovative as elvish or nu, but it kind of does everything very conveniently and shell-y for lack of a better word – and it always seems so simple. It seems conservative in design, but the old concepts have been evolved in a very usable way. Something I can’t say for all the other shells I’ve tried – at some point, it always gets awkward where fish is just elegant.
