zsh or fish for an intermediate Linux user?

So I've been using Linux now for a while, and am looking to migrate my dev environment to vim and spend more time in the command line. I'm fairly comfortable with bash but by no means an expert. I've used zsh with some minor customization but just recently learned about fish. I'd love to hear people's opinions.

When you’re working on a remote server you’re probably not going to have fish available.

You're probably not gonna have zsh either, though, but I wouldn't recommend using sh as your shell on your personal dev machine 🤷‍♂️

That's actually a pretty good reason. Currently I own my work environments but that won't always be the case, I'm sure.
