I'll have to give starship a try, seems like a cool way to handle customizing the prompt

as to the "omz is bloat and slows down your shell":

1. How slow? Because I've never noticed. Are we talking about waiting for 15 seconds when I should only have to wait for 1, or are we talking theory and the difference between 0.5 vs 0.08 seconds in benchmarks?

Because I've never been inconvenienced by the speed of my shell nor terminal emulator, despite having tried all kinds of setups. Turns out that "blazing fast" gpu accelerated terminal really didn't make much of a difference on human timescales. Now I'm at the point where I appreciate the features over the performance.

2. In reply to Brody's point, I'm inclined to say "yes, and...?"

OMZ automates a lot. Sure, I could follow his way of manulaly sourcing dozens of individual shellscripts and making my own aliases and have a zshrc 1200 lines long... Or I could just let omz handle it.

Yes it's mostly just a plugin manager, and...? Yes it automates a process I could do manually, and... ? Yes, it uses bindings that I didn't personally write, and... ?

Fuck off with the clickbait "You're living your life wrong, do this lifehack instead!!!!" (and the lifehack is to reinvent the wheel) bullshit

Here's a fun real lifehack: try things out for yourself, don't just listen to and parrot other people's opinions, don't be afraid to go against the grain. Way more fun and fulfilling that way!
