    Yeah, and I suspect most reading the article haven’t either, so the above guy’s question stands - what’s wrong with Bash in comparison to the others?

      Nothing wrong with it, it’s just boring. Fish shell has some new features that make it nice to use. So does zsh. Tab completions, history navigation, plugins and such.

      I don’t use anything other than BASH, but I hear that ZSH has command tab-completion (not just directory tab-autocomplete) similar to PowerShell and also some other cool shit I’m not really bothered to check out since bash is the GOAT.

      Why does something have to be wrong with Bash for Fish to be better?

            A lot of people use it for work and they couldn’t have the slightest risk of their setup broken since their living depend on it?

              What does that have to do with the question?

        I asked why others are better, I never called Bash shit.

        It stands to reason that if people want to switch to something else, then they must have advantages over Bash.

          what’s wrong with Bash in comparison to the others?

          The others have plenty of QoL features like auto-complete, spelling correction, syntax highlighting, etc.

          Doesn’t mean there’s anything “wrong” with Bash by comparison.
