I found prezto is more stable and responsive. Had weird hangs on auto-completion with omzsh...

For a cheap laugh, mention this tool on #arch-linux IRC. They get extraordinarily mad. I guess I get why, but it's still funny.

Care to explain why for those who don't know?

Why do they get mad? I rather like zsh.

I think it's oh-my-zsh that they get mad at. Maybe because it's too 'magical' for them? I don't know.

It's weird, when I started using oh-my-zsh, everyone complained about its performance but it worked swiftly for me. Now after a year I can see the problem, even though I didn't change anything in the config. It's still acceptable on my desktop, but annoying to use on the server.

I've moved on to prezto and haven't looked back. I also have a machine default to fish but it's more for fun side-hacks.

OMZ provides opinionated defaults and doesn't expose you to all of the choices that the typical zsh config process does. Which is the exact opposite of the Arch Linux mantra of being aware of every choice that you are making in which software runs on top of the kernel.

I use OMZ mostly because of dotfile inertia. There is some slight weirdness (vaguely remember something about negative/exclusion globs) compared to vanilla zsh, but it isn't bad.

I've been a happy Antigen (https://github.com/zsh-users/antigen) user. It's very fast, regularly updated, and can use OMZ as a plug for when there are features you simply must have.

OMZ was my first adventure into shell config management, but it slowed to the point that my Terminal.app window would take 10-15 seconds to give me a prompt. That became incredibly frustrating.
