Re: Fish - the user friendly command line program
Fish is a touch slower than Bash, but you get a lot more.
You can tab-complete some command parameters, and you can also tab-complete packages when using the apt-get command! The history works well too - if you type "sudo", for instance, and then hit the Up arrow, it will only show you the commands you've typed that started with "sudo".
It's the greatest. I've never had problems with it, but then I never put terminal commands in the background and foreground and stuff.
Oh, and you can change directories without typing cd!
I try to treat the cause, not the symptom. I avoid the terminal in instructions, unless it's easier or necessary. My instructions will work within the Ubuntu system, instead of breaking or subverting it. Those are the three guarantees to the helpee.
