#2Is this like a competitor for power10k type stuff and zsh?
What makes this "infinitely customizable" aside from being turing complete?
I don't see anything but ... a prompt.

#3Starship's an excellent prompt replacement.
I think it goes well with the fish shell: it's much nicer than the default, without requiring customisation.

#4I’m probably on the wrong side of history, but I just don’t like how much color there is in modern cli tools. It is distracting

Fair enough but the usefulness of a tool like this is not the colors it's the additional context at the prompt

#6I discovered starship when I started using kubernetes at work. Previously I relied on standard bash-isms for path, hostname, etc. but knowing what context and namespace I'm in before I execute a command is quite convenient. I'm normally not one to "customize" my CLI experience at all but this was a nice addition to the toolbox. Documentation is good, customizable, reliable and has support for a lot of things. Would recommend.

#7Installed it yesterday and it threw my email and AWS default region on to the prompt. Pretty bad defaults. Promptly removed it.

it’s trivial to configure fwiw. with as much info as it is capable of showing it’s a stretch to think it’ll magically know what you want.

When everything is one big screen full of white text, I find it very difficult to visually parse out, separate, and focus on information. Colors help guide your eyes and provide context. They can certainly be overused, however.
