I guess my workflow for this is more fragmented. Either I’m prototyping a script (and edit and test it directly) or just need throwaway loop (in which case fish is nicer).

I also don’t trust myself to not screw up anything more complex than running a command on Bash, without the guard rails of something like shellcheck!

I used to do it this way, but then having the mentally switch from the one to the other became too much of a hassle. Since I realized I only had basic needs, zsh with incremental history search and the like was good enough.

I don't care for mile-long prompts displaying everything under the sun, so zsh is plenty fast.
