Well, for me, this is one of the most outstanding features in fish. When I

I don't mind that, the benefits surpass those risks big time for me. I'm the
only fish user on our box, my wife doesn't even want to know how to open the

The history in fish is one of the most important information sources for me,
I even perform extra offsite incremental backup for it. I use it with the
quicksearch function all the time. It was a real relief to switch to fish
after using ctrl-r in bash.
