    Even as a fish user myself, I am still getting annoyed with these release log dumps without any description.

    fish is a smart and user-friendly command line shell for macOS, Linux, and the rest of the family. fish includes features like syntax highlighting, autosuggest-as-you-type, and fancy tab completions that just work, with no configuration required.

          I’m more interested in what the Oil shell has been doing, it has a higher potential roof while keeping backwards compatibility rather than the current standard of affairs 10ish year development cycle of a new shell with slight improvements.

          Switching shells can be a massive pain in the ass, so if we’re making a change, it has to be worth it.

          Oil looks like it could be worth it and then some.

            Fish was worth it because it works in a way that suits me, and I could tell just by reading its excellent manual.

            If you look at Oil and it looks like it suits you, I’m sure it’ll suit you. 👍

            For my taste, Oil seems too similar to bash at first glance, and the fact that it has a dedicated “Quirks” section in the docs is a major red flag for me. Personally.
