I genuinely wish there was an alternative that could gain enough traction to reach critical mass and hopefully start shipping with operating systems. I've never bothered to learn bash because it was always so damned confusing, and I just couldn't get over the idiosyncrasies when playing around with it. I wouldn't mind putting in time to learn something new and actually user-friendly.

Have you looked at fish? It is in the package repositories everywhere, I think.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I actually gave fish a try after you recommended it. I can't use it in my workflow :(. Virtualenv has a bash script to initiate the environment and fish's incompatibility with bash scripts makes it impossible for me to work with it.

virtualenv deployments come with a fish specific script, it is at `venv/bin/activate.fish`. You can source it with `. venv/bin/activate.fish`
