There's Oh My Fish too (https://github.com/oh-my-fish/oh-my-fish), the very first and original fish package manager (or shell framework, as we like to call it). I use it because of the nice default theme and the node version manager (nvm) compatibility plugin.

The problem with OMF is that it is entirely based in an earlier work of mine Wahoo, which I put together over a weekend and while it improved over the very original oh-my-zsh clone, it was not very good.

See the merge commit here:

And compare to Wahoo here:

Fisherman is a project of a different caliber, forged over a longer period of time, truer to the UNIX philosophy in principle "everything is a stream", built for extensibility and to solve OMF slow shell start issue (that has been a problem ever since I joined the project almost 2 years ago) and of course, backward compatible with OMF/Wahoo plugin/theme ecosystem.
