This looks extremely interesting! Is anyone using it as a daily driver on Linux? How has your experience been?

I have been using this on my Linux and windows machine as a daily driver. It's cross platform approach to handling commands, and overall usability is what made me switch to this completely. It takes a little while to get used to, especially when coming from bash, but if you know powershell already, I'd say just give it a go.

Yes, daily driving it (it's my default shell in zellij), and have ported my use-every-5-mins scripts to it.

It's VERY refreshing, but I still have issues with it not short-circuiting when an error is thrown in a loop... Which I suspect will get fixed in time...

I second this question. I was using FISH for quite a while and really liking it, but there was always something that it was incompatible with and had to eventually give it up.

I gave up on fish many years ago because of various incompabitilities (e.g. syntax like `FOO=bar some-cmd` or `env FOO=bar some-cmd` etc), but to be fair, they have managed to patch lots/most of those.

Returned back (from zsh) to fish this year and am super happy. Still the best built-in completion / history auto-suggest that I've seen in any shell so far, and super-fast at that.

Most importantly, barely any config needed (no needs for oh-my-zsh, prezto and all of those).
