Terminals Are Sexy

This is a lot to take in. Not sure if you're the author, OP, but in case the author is reading: Where would you suggest someone starts? (Note: Don't answer here! Use your answer to shape the organization of information on the site!)

For example, I use ZSH. Should I switch to fish? The list suggests I'd be sacrificing power and the ability to write scripts but gaining, uh, intelligence and user-friendliness? Is that true?

Then there's a ton of stuff about customizing ZSH. I know that oh-my-zsh is the most popular but I did not find it especially performant so I never really looked in to using modular components of it. Now I know there are 50 other guides I could read? Maybe I want a plugin manager. antigen is a plugin manager, maybe it'll be more performant than oh-my-zsh? But what about antibody, which is "faster" and "simpler"? But zgen is "lightweight". Are weight and speed connected? What about weight and simplicity? Maybe I should switch to pure, which is "pretty, minimal, and fast".

Then I moved on to my terminal. Currently I use iTerm 2, which "does amazing things". But maybe I should switch to Terminator, which is the "future of terminals". Or MacTerm, which is "powerful". Or Alacritty, which is GPU accelerated? (Isn't iTerm 2? I don't know?)

I went to macOS package managers. I use homebrew because it's what every webpage for everything I want to install says. Should I get fink instead? Macport, I think is old, but it "simplifies the installation of software". I thought homebrew was pretty simple, but I guess it could be simpler?

Then for text editors, I've never been good at emacs-fu, so I often use nano. Maybe I should replace with micro, which is "modern and intuitive"? Or jed, which is "freely available". I don't think I paid for nano, maybe I did.

How does a curated list of Terminal frameworks, plugins, and resources differ from an uncurated one? Can the author give some example of a framework, plugin, or resource that was considered but not included because of the curation? I suspect the things that I know aren't included simply weren't considered to begin with. Maybe I'm wrong.

Most of this criticism applies to every awesome list that gets linked, of course.

Human sexuality may be famously plastic, but this could be going a bit far.

"neovim - Literally the future of vim."

I'd rather say Vim 8.2 is the future of Vim.

It's for people who don't have root access to a remote terminal (super computer users, generally) but want more up to date packages.
