and this is 2015, why are people still against JS?
Because it's bad practice to demand people use it when it's not required.
JS is standard issue in 2015, come on out of the bunker.
Hey, I'm the lead dev of the fish shell. There's some great discussion in this thread! For those who are interested, the fish shell is about to release version 2.2, a very significant release that wraps up eighteen months of development. You can try the beta now: http://fishshell.com/beta/ A sampling of new features: - vi mode (yay!) - Abbreviations, fish's take on aliases. They expand as you type them. - A new "inli…

I'm curious - how does the theme stuff interact with choosing different ANSI colors in a terminal emulator? Is it using ANSI colors at all for those complex themes, or specifying RGB colors instead?
fish has a set_color builtin which accepts RGB hex. This makes colored output easy: `set_color 69F; echo 'I am light purple!'`

After updating to v2.2b1 using instructions at https://launchpad.net/~fish-shell/+archive/ubuntu/beta-2 , these occurs to me in my original conf.fish file: ======================================================== # count the number of the files in the dir(not sub.), use tree | wc -l for subdirs # alias lsc ls：command not found ~/.config/fish/config.fish (line 67): # alias lah 'la --color=yes --sort=time -lh | head' #…
Fish not being bash compliant was a deal breaker for me. I use zsh with https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting zsh fish like syntax hilighting and am much more happy.
Fish is definitely good, but not great enough to justify a switch from Bash. I maintain tens of thousands of lines of Bash scripts and was considering switching to Fish once, but decided it wasn't worth it. When you compare the *nix shells to PowerShell, they feel prehistoric. We all use grep, sed, awk, and the likes, but don't you get tired of having to deal with unstructured data and gross limitations of the shell…
I don't in fact get tired of unstructured data and the limitations of the shell like basic data structures because nine times out of 10 the data I have to work with in a shell is exactly that. Unstructured and basic. Not because of the shell but because the source of that data provides it that way.
Powershell with it's intense focus on fancy datastructures makes something like
sed '/foo/d'
If I want something more powerful for working with structured data I'll use Python or Julia.

It sounds amazing. Hey, since you are the lead dev of the fish shell, a serious problem occurred to me weeks ago, I was compiling a QT client in fish, and there is already an environment value called `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` (including other values the compilation needs) defined in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ and /etc/profile.d/ but fish cannot find them, if I use `set -g ...` to set it in fish shell prompt and then do the compilati…
bash only reads the files in /etc/profile.d when launched interactively, so those files won't be read for #!/bin/sh scripts. Of course, if you launch the script from an interactive bash session, the script will inherit the variables that the profile.d files set up.
As an aside, this zoo of configuration files is something that fish tries to avoid. fish reads its config files unconditionally, and leaves it up to the file to branch on whether the session is interactive.

Yikes! I'll open an issue and make sure this is addressed for the 2.2 release. Can you please post your config.fish in a gist?

Um, pretty sure they can make whatever demands they want on their own website. JS is standard issue in 2015, come on out of the bunker.
