alt Hacker NewsI’m “very senior” (as in decades of _Unix_ use senior) and I like it in minimal mode because it’s just so much less hassle than all the other zsh stuff I had been using for a couple of decades. Not sure if you expected replies to be full of all the JavaScript kids that use emojis in logging messages, but apologies if so :)

It's always nice to have an impromptu HN poll. We may have been missing and didn't know :)
And now that you mention it, next year will be my 30th Unix-versary. Time flies... Still not a greybeard though.

Same here. I’ve been using Unix of some flavor or another since 1989 and generally prefer minimalism and simplicity - but I also prefer “opinionated good defaults”, and starship gives me that. (I’ve even switched to Fish, because it does well with no config absolutely basic table stakes stuff OOTB that bash/zsh need a ton of garbage for.)
