    Having to adapt to shells is exactly why I don’t like to use radical shells like fish or nushell. I don’t want to feel too comfortable with them, because if I do, I would probably regret it when I’m stuck in situations that doesn’t have the correct shell. SSH into a new server or Raspberry Pi that has DNS issue, for example, which actually happened to me more than once. The DNS is already troublesome, and I don’t want shell unfamiliarity to become another headache

      Well, it’s not like by learning fish you’ll automatically forget bash :) but I do agree that you should learn bash first, then plain sh and only after those go explore other shells.

      I love how “radical shells” sounds! :)
