Hi, Dylan, thank you for your sending a question :)
You use macOS and Ubuntu.

The benefits of fish I am especially given are:

  • Out of the box.
  • Auto suggestions referring to both of user's path and history. Very great.
  • Lightweight with so high functionality.

On the other hand, one of fish's cons is perhaps not to support POSIX, so some may feel bewildered because of the difference of the grammars.
I am one who don't care about it.

I think it's about not "which is better" but "which is pleasant for me in the situation" :)
Besides, I sometimes use bash with Linux or tcsh with FreeBSD.

Well, have you ever read this Boris' great article?

I believe It helps you :)
