Ooh, haven't seen that before, I'll give it a go

So after playing around with fish it for a little bit, I'm moving back to zsh.

Although, I think it could definitely be a good shell choice for the next FAC, as it does set it's self up nicely out of the box and have a really pleasant interface to work with.

I don't really care for many of it's advantages such as nice configuration interfaces, nice colours and stuff out of the box. To be honest, I prefer when things don't have that.

My biggest turn off for fish is the compatibility issues and knowing that the shell I write may not be able to be used others unless their using fish.

@shouston3 familiarity dictates most tech decisions ... 😉 but agree on the compatibility point. 👍

No need to re-open. ZSH works well for most people. 👍 (unless you closed unintentionally and still want to add to your .md file...)

This issue was opened to address the tbd point in WHY_ZSH.md, but I forgot that when I closed the issue.
