I used OhMyZsh for years with the Agnoster power line theme and over the years it got slower and slower. Tried Fish about 6 years ago and immediately spent the rest of the day tweaking an Agnoster theme to my liking because everything about it was better than Zsh and waaaay faster. My fork is here [0] for anyone interested, though the readme and screenshots are from the original.

I’d say that’s more a OhMyZsh problem than a ZSH problem. There’s definitely faster and better frameworks/plugin managers.

However the crux of the issue is that a bunch of the neat features are built into default Fish vs being behind plugins in ZSH.

I still think (with sufficient effort), ZSH is the best (and I think configurable to be faster than default Fish with equivalent features), but Fish is the best out of the box experience.

Bash even has OhMyBash now, which got me enough of OhMyZsh that I decided to... stick with Bash. lol
