That's what I currently use but I've tested fsh a little and was potentially looking to move. I just have to pull the trigger and see if I regret it or not.

reject POSIX, embrace nushell

Hell yeah nushell! Truly a life-changing upgrade.

Oh-my-bash. All of the upsides. None of the down

Fish looks cool, but I decided to settle on ble.sh for compatibility reasons. This one deserves some attention too. For me the main motivation was history-based autocomplete.

that's a command line editor tho fish is a shell?

Blesh adds a lot of functionality that makes bash feel + act like a fancier neoshell, while keeping the same syntax. Also includes a pre-exec hook, which vanilla bash notably lacks.

Highly recommend.

Yes, but "command line editor" is a confusing term. For me it's "get features of a fancy shell in pure bash".
