Why not just use fish at that point? It's been rewritten in Rust too.

To me personally, oh-my-zsh and similar projects feel like a worse version of the stuff fish brings by default.

Fish is awesome, but there are times you need POSIX/ bash-like shell syntax

Then you open bash and get POSIX and not bash-like, but bash.

In fact, sometimes I open bash even from zsh. When pasting from a script and debugging why something doesn't work as expected, I don't want bash-like. For ad-hoc loops, bash-like works well for me thanks to the familiarity of syntax.
