It is easy to go overboard with oh my zsh for sure, but startup time, as long as it's less than ~5 seconds, is not likely to be a big problem for most people. On slower machines the real killer is the time it takes for the next prompt to appear after each command. There are mitigations, but I've definitely had machines where it is almost unbearable.
- nemetroid 5y agoFive seconds really is unusably slow, in my opinion. Even a tenth of that is grating. If I want to run a one-off command, I open a new terminal to do so, and close it when I’m done.
- animal_spirits 5y agoMy pretty extensively customized zsh config with ohmyzsh takes maybe a quarter of a second to load... Maybe I don't have as customized config as I thought because if it is taking a second or more I can't imagine what is being loaded.
