@lordalveric fish as in the shell? Havent used it in a bit, if it were compatible with bash I probably would have kept using it. It was nice.

Have you tried zsh + oh-my-zsh. Gives you many of the same features (in fact more) and is fairly compatible with bash.

@freemo I looked briefly at zsh, then fish, and fish not only has more features; it's a lot easier to do colors in it., etc. I like the syntax.

Others have suggested zsh, and I may try it out as well at some point, and then compare and contrast.

And I don't need no stinkin' POSIX. :)

@lordalveric well its not so much about posix anything.. You just cant do the same sort of scripting you can in zsh. for example it is trivial in zsh or bash to run a command on all files in a directory recurisvely with a for loop, cant do that in fish.

The colors in oh-my-zsh are automatically there. When you run it for the first time it asks you what settings you want, default includes colors.

oh-my-zsh certainly has way more features than fish though, but fish isnt bad.

@freemo fish has something similar, actually, as far as setting up your default colors. I actually used the utility and modified it aftwards to suit my tasts.
