starship looks good on paper, but the fact that all plugins are by default enabled (from what I can tell from the docs) is a no-go for me.

Why do people need all that information on their prompt? I understand showing the git status, but is it really necessary to know that your battery is discharging and you're currently using node v10.12.3 and elm v1.2.3 every single time you run a command in some directory?

Starship can be quickly configured to have a select few "modules" enabled. This can be configured with `prompt_order`, documented here: https://starship.rs/config/#prompt

I, for one, like to know what version of Node will be used when I'm jumping between projects, so I can know which features are available to me at runtime.

Eventually we'd like to include an interactive configuration tool to help folks find a configuration that meets their needs.
