Earlier quoted context omitted.
I used fish for a while, but the fact that it is a clear break from bash / sh syntax for things like chaining and redirecting made my reflexes all wrong. I'd type `dothis && dothat` and fish would just say, "umm, I think you mean `dothis and dothat`", or I'd have to use a bash subshell to run some command someone else wrote with some fiddly find syntax piping to xargs. So I just switched to zsh. Less cool name, but m…
They caved and support that syntax now in fish.
While not caving on plenty of others. E.g. errors when a wildcard can’t be expanded (because it is not meant as a wildcard) and you have to explicitly quote. Or (subcommand) instead of $(subcommand). There are more cases I frequently encounter.
Infuriatingly, fish knows what I meant, as the error tells me what to do instead. But it won’t do it for me and prefers to lecture me instead.
