Less than five minutes to read but how long to set up my own? The author only showed what he needs/prefers ("Here is my config for starship"). I'll need to navigate the documentation of starship to figure out all those options, which defeats the purpose. Their config documentation (https://starship.rs/config/) already gives me headaches.

And from the article

> Because cloud services are available globally, I've disabled them.

That's some bad defaults right there.

> When you run a command, it also shows how long it took to execute.

No I absolutely don't want this thing done by the author. Now I am fully in the "customize my config" territory.

Also, most of us are unlike the author, and 0.07s vs 0.38s startup time means no difference.

I think the point of the previous comment has been more than clear enough.

OMZ is still easier to set up consistently. That’s why we use it.

If the concern is the bloat of OMZ then make FMZ - fast my zsh - that is just as quick to set up and doesn’t add “bloat”?

That misses the point. I don’t even want to think about any of that stuff.

It’s a single command to install oh-my-zsh. I can fire it off, check Slack, and come back in 5 minutes. If I have to take 5 minutes to setup it up, I’m just not going to do it.
