zsh or fish for an intermediate Linux user? (sh.itjust.works)

So I've been using Linux now for a while, and am looking to migrate my dev environment to vim and spend more time in the command line. I'm fairly comfortable with bash but by no means an expert. I've used zsh with some minor customization but just recently learned about fish. I'd love to hear people's opinions.

If you want you can install starship, which provides a lot of the nifty prompt customization I see in other people's zsh configs. I've been using it with bash for a few months now and like it a lot.

    I use tide with fish and I personally prefer it over starship.

    Thanks for pointing me at tide. I always used the pure prompt but tide looks like pure on steroids.

    Also look into the fzf plugin for fish. It’s the other plugin I use.

    Fzf doesn't need fish, though. I use it with bash.
