FWIW I only ever saw zsh at colleagues screen(share) with Oh-My-Zsh 1. Utterly slow and cluttered 2. Colleagues leverage a tenth of its power than what they could achieve with pure bare bones bash Therefore, never bothered to even try (but had to fix some one liners so that they work on their fancy setup). Also, was surprised that macos switched to it as its default. I guess I never jumped on the oh-my-it's-so-slow-zsh bandwagon. OTOH, fish+starship combo /that was also recommended here/ seems interesting

Starship can also be really really slow with the defaults, although that is not starship itself beings slow but it appears to sometimes call out to slow tools when display toolchain info. I always turn all of the languages plugins off in Starship for this reason.

  Honestly, I'm quite OK with bash+liquidprompt. It is probably an order of magnitude slower than these fancy new stuff. Even with a huge monorepo and git stats displayed after every press of return it's OK (I win time at other places), but it's intriguing to have the same fast prompt display that I would otherwise have outside local git clone's directories. What seems sexy about fish/starship is that there is built-in performance check / benchmark for slowdowns.

For Fish, I'd recommend https://github.com/IlanCosman/tide https://github.com/IlanCosman/tide instead

  Oh nice thanks. Great idea with the async prompt update. The repo hasn't seen new commits since more than a year, but new issues are still opened. Is it abandoned?

    Quite possibly, but I use it daily with no issues. It’s also pretty easy to write your own prompt and then make it async with this plugin: https://github.com/acomagu/fish-async-prompt https://github.com/acomagu/fish-async-prompt

Its been my experience too, they mainly want the eye candy of the prompt to compliment their macbook.
