Fish sensible defaults can go a long way and the scripting language is fairly easy to pick up. If you want more that what's provided out of the box, then check out Fisherman: http://fisherman.sh

Fisherman has a lovely website and even docs, but what does it actually do? The list of plugins is not very impressive, many of which seem to be placeholders that don't do anything at all (see the "plugins" with numeric names):

I use fish for a year now. I was actually gonna give a try on fisherman. But I found out that oh-my-fish (which I currently use) repos are down because of one guy that maintain the fisherman and is abusing of DMCA all over oh-my-fish repositories. https://github.com/oh-my-fish/oh-my-fish.

Not gonna give a try on a project that is primary maintained for bad people with bad intentions.

It seems interesting the 'wa' repositories now redirect to a Fishery account that does, guess what? fish plugins. I’m not defending oh-my-fish, because it looks like they didn’t give attribution, but it’s all too convenient.

In any case, it’s clear this is just a stunt to open the path for Fisherman to become the de facto framework. Hopefully no one will really use them, but I know some people will.

This is no doubt the funniest (but most miserable, really): http://ohmy.fish (guess where it redirects)
