Is fish really worth it? I'm checking at faster ohmyzsh alternatives

I'm a big fan of

Its auto-suggestions and tab completion (with docs!), along with syntax highlighting as you type, that "just works" out of the box, provide great every day experience. Its abbreviations are like shell aliases but with much better UX

Something that seems small but I think makes for much better UX: configuring fish, creating permanent ENV variables, creating abbreviations, etc doesn't require editing files. Using its shell functions for creating/editing those things updates your config files

Downside: having to learn its differences. Such as: instead of `export FOO=bar` in file, `set -U FOO bar` from shell (or file)
