The problem with most of these lists and how-tos is that they're the CLI equivalent of 'I Fucking Love Science'. The people suggesting things like zsh frame-works rarely seem able to properly justify their use — they don't know what they actually do, nor what the alternative is, nor even whether you could accomplish the exact same thing in a less featureful shell like bash. It's just a cargo cult of people who don't really understand what they're doing writing Medium posts or whatever to evangelise unnecessary, badly written software to other people who don't really understand what they're doing.

(In zsh's case, i think that's partly the project's own fault; it has very underwhelming defaults and a very overwhelming set-up process for new users.)
