I use Fish as a user shell everywhere I can and end up using Bash daily for scripting and on servers/VMs/containers at work, I've also been using Nushell a lot recently for personal scripts.

Biggest drawbacks for me is mixing up a few bits of syntax and some software doesn't ship Fish completion scripts, although I never write scripts in Fish which reduces the syntax I actually use.

In my opinion Fish is worth it just for the auto complete suggestions alone, but I also really like the way it handles editing config, it's sane default config, understandable error messages, and plug-ins.

Nushell is very nice, but I find it doesn't match the usability of Fish for interactive shells. Love it for scripts though.
