Company vs Pcomplete

There already exists a pcomplete Fish completion backend (emacs-fish-completion) on which company-fish was based. You can even use it with company via company-capf. The only thing that this package provides over the pcomplete version is annotations (short descriptions of the candidates). If you don’t care about that feature you would be better off using the pcomplete version.
