Valid executables are colored green, as you type. Invalid commands are red, as you type. Valid files are underlined, as you type.
Like the carpenter who can feels the feedback of the grain of the wood through the handle of his plane can adjust his technique as he planes, fish shell lets me 'feel' the programs and files I'm working with through the shell.
And that makes me happy.

Why did they pick the exact same name?

Presumably because fish hasn't been updated since 2009 and they expect their fork to become the new standard version.

#7I wonder if there is a modern shell with csh like syntax. I know this may sound anal retentive, but I prefer the csh syntax to the sh syntax.

It's not called that yet: "Its working name is fishfish, but I hope eventually it will just be fish!"
The ambition is quite reasonable as work on the fish shell itself has petered out, there was a recent dead cat bounce after a long fallow period, but it seems to be back to stasis there.

I stopped using fish a while ago, when it would crash whenever I opened a console session (so I couldn't do anything when X didn't start). I switched to zsh with fish emulation, but lately I realized I have a shell that takes much longer to start up and basically does everything fish does, and nothing more.
If fishfish is more stable, I'll switch in a heartbeat.
