Never, though about it, but indexing from 1 makes more sense since
fish indexes arrays from one. If other shells index jobs from 1, then
there really is _no_ reason not to do the same. Will change, but not
before 1.21.6, since I want to get that one out the door.
Note though that you can either simply use 'fg' to put the last job to
be manipulated by job control in the foreground, or e.g. 'fg %vi' to
put vi into the foreground.

I can put both vi and man into the foreground just fine. Can you give
me a reproducible test case?
