> Fish isn't UNIX,

Could be, but that wasn't the argument. The argument was, that fish has nice auto-completion, and that could be done without $irrelevant_feature_list.

(Also, by the same token, Powershell isn't Windows.)

> stating that Powershell just mimics existing popular bash/zsh means your not aware of Powershell capabilities versus bash/zsh.

So what does it better than bash/zsh in the area of code completion? Simple tab completion? For history, Ctrl-R and F7? Woo-hoo.

> Since when do bash/zsh offer a full sane programming language, not relying in external executables, (...)

Which is completely irrelevant when we are discussing code completion.



Powershell is definitly Windows, being built on .NET and COM.

Powershell Core is less Windows, that I grant you.

As for code-completion, if you so insist, I don't see anything better on Fish that is so great about it.

I also don't install needless stuff like oh-my-posh, I don't need jumping rainbows and what not on my shell.
