Fish is a great shell, but whenever I SSH into another machine I end up having to do everything in Bash anyway. So the fact that Fish is so different often ends up being a detriment, because it means I have to remember how to do things in two different shells. It was easier to just standardize on Bash.
I might try daily driving it again when this release hits the stable repos, I dunno.
Same. That’s why I stick with zsh, even though I know Fish has better features, and I would really like to learn fish. I log into many different VMs every day, they all use Bash, some also have zsh. None of them have Fish.
I only have to “quotes” strings that contains globs. The rest mostly work or use the newer/recommanded way to do things for posix shells.
But I must admit, I only use it interactively. For scripts I #!/bin/{,ba}sh. I will use something else once it won some/most the distro preinstalls (either nu, elvish, fish, but for now it’s sadly python).

They call that out as an improvement with the rust switch. You can now just scp a single binary over and have fish without even needing to install it
Interesting, I installed fish on all the machines I work with, but I will look into this.
