> Minor thing but You might be over-interpreting the phrase. Novelty drives "news", including here on HN. Every now and then you see a post to a generic product page. Usually after a big release. And the inevitable comment is "what about it? I've been using it for years". So naturally we see more articles about new-ish or lesser-known modifications to core tools. E.g. zsh. An article about Oh-My-Zsh would even attract the eyerolls because it's so popular and well-known among the commentariat here. I speculate that GP was saying "Is it just me, or are others pretty happy with the original that does not merit a post here? Am I missing something awesome from the novelty bucket?" If GP was not saying that, then I will! I've run zsh and vim and tmux for ... very very long times, though obviously varying between tools. In all cases, I run them with largely stock config, only minor changes and customization. Vim has a dozen lines of config plus a few custom file formats, tmux gets a hundred lines or so of config, zsh gets functions and aliases. That's about it. I check out all the novel bits, sometimes even test them. But I always come back to stock with my minor config. So yes, stock zsh is 100% adequate for intensive daily use. Some people put spoilers and pinstripes on their cars. I do not.
