Recently switched from using Z-Shell for the past decade to Fish [1]. When paired with the Fisher plugin manager [2] and the Tide prompt plugin [3], it's been a much more pleasant experience than I was expecting. Like many before me, I have synthesized my setup into a bootstrap script I can run on a brand-new mac and everything Just Works™—you can find it here, though I recommend you use it for reference and not for your personal setup, as it is very opinionated and changing often: https://github.com/sds/.files?tab=readme-ov-file#dot-files It's a pretty stark departure from my prior solution, but after a decade the YAGNI principle [4] has really rung true for me—I spent far too much time making my configuration framework [5] customizable to an unnecessary degree.

Fish is solid; was on it for about a year or so until switching to nushell this year.

interesting, using nushell as daily driver? do you find ux lacking or inconvenient when just going about daily stuff that doesn't necessarily need the cool nushell stuff?

Yup! As of right now I can't say I've experienced anything that is lacking or inconvenient, really was just the adjustment phase. Now it's super natural to access or find data the way nushell does it. Config and env setup is also pretty easy to do imo. Only downside might be a terminal program that is built for a shell and they don't support nushell; I think I had one or two but I don't think they were that consequential.

very cool. got me interested enough to at least finally install it. from simple testing seems like doing things like piping to fzf doesn't really work due to tables. But might be giving it a spin this week!
