Great article! I'm a big fan of the Fish Shell, glad to see it being mentioned and used.

I think of Fish not as a beginner shell, but a very advanced one, for when you're ready to stop dealing with the inconsistencies and bloat in other shells. I think of it as advanced because if you ever write shell scripts that you want to be portable, you'll probably have to use something else. After trying bash and zsh for years each, I now write all of my (non-personal) scripts to be POSIX-compliant, but use Fish for my daily driving, and have never been happier!
