Frankly I use python and PowerShell (to control Windows boxes) for scripting 99% of the time and a quick `#!/usr/bin/env bash` shebang on top is how I learned how to bash script anyway since Debian was/still uses Dash for /bin/sh

Fish really is what it says on the tin: Friendly Interactive Shell. Easily get 90% of the benefits of zsh with just a install and chsh.
