Didn’t know about auto populating search queries, abbreviations, string scripting, and using private mode.

    It’s perfect for daily interactive use, but terrible for scripting. I write almost all my scripts in bash, the only exceptions being convenience scripts for fish itself.

      Same, but I don’t think it was ever intended differently; I mean the word interactive is literally in the name. If you want portable scripts, use bash. For simple helpers, quickly define a function. If you feel your script becomes too long, use Python.

        Agree, although I’ve recently replaced the python usecase with Go. Almost as easy to write, but much faster and safer.
