Yup. It's also bad on slow network connections. Of course, Fish is just being comparible with other shells, to conform to users' habits. But actually delete-or-exit has two modes so different from each other, that I think it was buggy UI design wherever it was first used. Some configure their shell to require several ^D's before it exits, but I suspect this does not help much. I bet users still have to be careful, and several ^D's are not much shorter compared to just typing ``exit``. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
