  I’ve had ohmyzsh installed for years. TBH, I still don’t know what it gives me over bash. In your experience, what is the “killer feature” of zsh?

    Not OP, but I very recently switchedfrom bash. Autocomplete with suggestions is a way better exeperience on zsh than bash. The way you can choose between options of the autocomplete/suggest interactively feels way better than bash. I set it up to be case-insensitive, so I can type cd dow and it will become cd Downloads. Gettig autocomplete for both kubectl and its alias k is seamless in zshrc but requires an extra line with a weird dunder function in bashrc.

    This is just what I found in a few days of using it. There was no learning curve at all, everything just felt easier.

  Thanks for naming these, I definitely need to look into them!

  Can’t live without oh-my-zsh, powerlevel10k and zsh autocomplete/autosuggestions plugins. It’s the first thing I install whenever I’m on a new computer.

  I run this exact same setup, it’s pretty much a prereq on a fresh install. I wonder if we’ve all been exposed to the same blog articles

  Fish: look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power

  I’ve seen quite a few articles on why you should never install oh-my-…s over the years. I’ve also never bothered to remember the reasoning past “install the plugins separately or you will suffer”, so someone please link if you know what I’m talking about.
