Well! In fact, "our" shell is a fork of fish. I tried fish and liked what I saw, but ran into show stopping bugs. I started this project to resolve those bugs. We aim to fix the most serious issues, like frequent hangs on slow NFS filesystems and excessive I/O at startup. We're also improving its internal structure, and adding features that mesh with its user-friendly, it-just-works-no-configuration-necessary vision. Automatically inferring completions, instead of requiring manual entry, is in line with that philosophy. Or at least we think so! Anyways, thanks to everyone for the suggestions and feedback! -Peter
