I agree completely. Every time I demo some code, people remark at my zsh setup (which I cloned from an article posted here some time ago). Unfortunately, when I suggest they do some customizations themselves, they make excuses and complain that they don't have any free time.
This is completely backwards. If setting up a good shell saves you several seconds per command, then you're saving minutes every day, and several hours a month. I probably spent 30 minutes configuring zsh initially, and I occasionally spend a minute here and there tweaking small things (or not, if it looks like it will be too much trouble), but the payoff is worth it in the end.
The moral of the story is try things, it really isn't as hard (or time consuming) as you think. If it is, then give up and do something else (or try later).
