Fish is good, but most shells pale in comparison to powershell unfortunately.
There's a new generation of shells on the rise which look up to both Fish and PowerShell as models of different virtues they want to embody. A lot of them are already usable, and some day a few of them will be killer apps for developers and sysadmins

Using other shells is like living in the stone age. I don't know why people would do that to themselves.
1. You have to go out of your way to fetch the full help pages on a given PowerShell installation (they're not stored locally by default).
2. Even after you fetch the full help, not all of it is actually included in the Get-Help output (IIRC examples), so you often need to use `Get-Help -Online`, which opens a separate application (browser) and that sucks
3. Inside the terminal, there's little to no special formatting or syntax highlighting, unlike what you get with a good `man` pager
4. Get-Help output (unlike `man` output as configured on most distros) is not paged by default.
`man` could be better, and I don't really vibe with `info`, but Get-Help isn't that great imo. The actual content of the help is quite good, and it's nice that it includes examples, but the same is true of most man pages.
I want to like it. It's goals and purposes seem to be in the right place, but....
Nope.
