				 dually83127yI haven't used zsh extensively, but I adore fish. The auto complete/intellisense-like command line experience is fantastic. It takes a bit to get used to translating some bash things over, but overall, I enjoy it. dually83127yI haven't used zsh extensively, but I adore fish.

				I tried fish but problem is minor syntactical difference like you have to use semicolon instead of '&&' for series command execution and some special characters are not supported.
 
 So switched back to zsh.
