All 6 criticisms except the last one are design decisions that were made in order to create a shell syntax that is simple and "orthogonal", and a shell that is interactive and easy to use. That's the purpose of Fish. So I cannot see them being valid criticisms. Certainly we should always be open to better design ideas, but backwards compatibility is low on Fish's priorities because the goal was to be free try something new.
It seems the author wants completions, syntax coloring and decent help with Posix syntax.
