That's nice, though the description should probably mention the other
strengths of Fish. I think the design document
(http://fishshell.com/user_doc/design.html ) would help a lot. Also,
why "do nearly everything", you can do anything? How about something
like this:

The friendly interactive shell is a command shell designed to be
simple, powerful, consistent and discoverable. It has syntax
highlighting, intelligent tab completion, helpful error messages and
easy history search. The syntax is cleaner than POSIX shell syntax and
lets do anything that you can do in POSIX shells.
