I like fish, but I don't think I'd use it as my default shell
Force of habit is very strong. I was enthusiastic about trying another shell and committed myself to breaking my habit and learning something new, and I'm oh so glad I did.
I like them both. All I have to do to switch is type bash at the fish command line and I'm instantly in bash.
Lol I was going to say the exact opposite... All I need to do is type fish and I'm instantly in fish.
Personally, I prefer to have the tried and true, if basic, shell as my default, and if I want auto complete, etc, I'll just type fish
There's really nothing about bash that I "like". Bash is just bash—it's the baseline. Then there are things that fish does better, and there are things that fish does differently. But there's absolutely nothing that I feel that bash does better than fish.
