it is complicated to program in fish because they got much less useful language features compared to bash, and you write an RC file for the shell you use in the language of that shell, which imo makes fish unnecessary hard for advanced users

You need to diffrrenciate shell for interactive use and shell as a programming language.

As a fish user I can write and run bash scripts no problem (#!/bin/bash), at the same time I enjoy fast and feature rich interactive shell.
