I'm switching to it slowly. I used fish on linux and powershell on windows. I want to be able to use the same shell on both systems and prefer not to rely on microsoft. I feel that data based shells like powershell and nu are the future :)

Nice to hear your opinion. I've tried fish before, but it didn't convince me to switch, but now I'm switching to nu :)
It's pretty nice. I've been following its progress essentially since the beginning and would like to adopt it as my primary shell eventually, but it's had some blockers that prevent me from switching completely, most of which have been resolved by now. The one I'm currently waiting for is the ability to suspend and resume processes: https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/247
Me too. I really like it and I break it out for a number of tasks but, suspending vim is far too ingrained in my muscle memory to switch to something that doesn't handle it.
Interesting for data driven servers where you routinely have to check data. I can image Mailstorages etc. Could benefit from this.
As normal shell I would still prefer zsh or fish due to its popularity.
I like it, but I'm not going to use it. I'd rather spend time focusing on my bash skills than learning the syntax of a niche tool that no one's going to use, speaking from a career and learning point of view.
In saying that, I prefer fish on own devices because I like it's syntax highlighting and autocompletion features.
Nothing beats good old bash IMO, or if you need something minimal busybox
