Yes, really.
Also really "brew install X".
Also really download some binary and run it.
Do you inspect every line of the source code of the every app you run on your computer?
I don't.

#23I found prezto is more stable and responsive. Had weird hangs on auto-completion with omzsh... https://github.com/sorin-ionescu/prezto
I found prezto did too many things (replaced mkdir, cp, rm and ls with slightly incompatible wrappers for example). The worst was wrapping diff and make, both of which broke scripts I used. oh-my-zsh seems from my experience to be less eager to replace built-in functionality (although, I'm not an expert in either).
Oh god, I still swear at the whole "\rm" thing. I guess it's been a benefit a couple times where I might have deleted something by accident, but considering I mostly work on Git repositories, the inconvenience added by the wrappers is totally not worth it.

Prezto and Antigen are the better solutions for ZSH users. Oh-my-zsh has some issues that Antigen addresses and Prezto does things in a different way entirely that's equally good.

#25I love oh-my-zsh but am confused why this is news... it's been around for years, almost everyone I know in OSX either uses it or has used it at some point in the past. I do love it though!
Pretty sure it's because of fish appearing on the front page today. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9566441
It's a very relevant response to Fish. I used Fish but ran into trouble trying to figure out the syntax for things I knew how to do in bash. zsh (with oh-my-zsh to pick a theme and some plugins) was a nice middle ground with lots of shiny features but with more familiarity.

Which begs the question as fish was released 10 years ago.

#27Earlier quoted context omitted.
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.
Been using oh-my-zsh for years, haven't had a single problem with it. Not sure what's going on where people are having so many problems with it being slow.
Same. I keep fearing something will creep up, considering how much I've heard, but it still works brilliantly, from my new iMac all the way down to my shared host on Webfaction.

#28I wish they would find a better way to sort their themes. Alphabetical is not helping.

It's so bizarre to me that people would look at the base install of essentially dotfiles as canonical and unalterable. Fork Prezto and maintain your own version.
