Ask HN: Oil or Fish Shell?
Oil shell: https://www.oilshell.org/
Fish shell: https://fishshell.com/
Both look promising on paper. Which one do you use and why? Where is the future?

Pimping zsh with powerlevel10k[1], some custom dotfiles and scripts feels like having enough convenience, while still using POSIX. I use "Pure" theme by the way, because it also works nicely in not so modern Terminals, if you replace PROMPT_CHAR with > instead of using the default unicode one...
If there were only these two to choose from, I can't tell you, which one to use. I would just recommend NOT linking the chosen one to /bin/sh, but using either fish or oil for your daily use cases and linking dash to /bin/sh for keeping your OS scripts POSIX compatible and working.
I, personally, have come to the conclusion, that zsh is good enough for me and will be until something revolutionary happens.
