3 years using Fish shell now, and wouldn't go back to anything else. The autocompletion (including fuzzy matching) feature is just so vastly better than in other shells.

I must say I am not a huge shell wizard and use only a handful of custom functions, but I've found shell to be very pleasant to work with and would recommend it to any web developer who doesn't get "dirty" with shell scripting a lot.

The only problem I had was that I had to explicitly set the shell used by vim in order to make vim plugins / configs work properly by using this line:

set shell=/bin/bash
