Lazyvim for neovim, tend to favour hand crafted vim configuration.

I’ve only been using LazyVim 2 weeks, was using NvChad for the two years before that. I’ll keep an eye out for the expiration date!

Running Fish with dotfiles managed by (Nix) Home Manager.
Nix is a rabbit hole, but I can recommend https://devenv.sh, which allows for easy setup of a locked dev environment for all kinds of services and languages. For example:
{
pkgs,
lib,
config,
inputs,
...
}: {
# https://devenv.sh/packages/
packages = with pkgs; [
git
# linter and formatter for JavaScript, TypeScript, JSX, CSS and GraphQL
biome
# Nix code formatter
alejandra
# CLI image tools ("magick")
imagemagick
# CLI image optimisation
mozjpeg
pngcrush
# PostgreSQL client utilities
postgresql
# content compression (handled by Phoenix.Bakery)
brotli
zstd
# Mermaid diagram generator
mermaid-cli
];
# https://devenv.sh/languages/
languages.elixir.enable = true;
languages.javascript.enable = true;
languages.javascript.npm.enable = true;
# https://devenv.sh/services/
services.postgres = {
enable = true;
package = pkgs.postgresql_15;
initialDatabases = [{name = "myapp_dev";} {name = "myapp_test";}];
initialScript = ''
CREATE ROLE dev WITH LOGIN PASSWORD 'dev' SUPERUSER;
'';
};
# https://devenv.sh/pre-commit-hooks/
pre-commit.hooks = {

With Direnv active, when I enter the project directory, the defined Elixir version becomes available in the path and I can call devenv up to spin up the DB.
I like it! 
(To dive deeper, there is a nice full-fledged NixOS template designed for Hetzner VPS, including complete shell and NeoVim configs: GitHub - LGUG2Z/nixos-hetzner-cloud-starter: A sane, batteries-included starter template for running NixOS on Hetzner Cloud · GitHub. Would not recommend to start with NixOS, though, but to install just Nix on top of your existing OS and get started with Home Manager and Devenv.)

Zsh on Linux/Mac, Powershell for when I need to use Windows. Although I like alacritty in both cases; not sure that alacritty is actually a shell–maybe just a terminal.

i’m on zsh/oh-my for the above reasons.
i went zsh → fish for 6 moths → zsh. i liked Fish a lot. problem was i couldn’t run bash scripts i found online. having to remember how to convert them or what tool to use to convert them became so frustrating. i guess today AI could do it for me. how do you deal with that?

Bash scripts are ran thorugh bash, not fish…
So if they messed up the shebang, I’d do bash that_script.sh

you can run a shell inside a shell dog! just run bash inside fish to run whatever script (or put it in a file and run it directly with bash my_script.sh)
