I prefer prezto to oh-my-zsh for performance reasons.

Slimzsh[1] is a very nice default configuration. Just a slim prompt, fast-syntax-highlighting and some vanilla settings.

I keep a personal fork with a few added plugins (most notably zsh-autosuggestions and ssh-agent). No need for a plugin manager.

oh-my-zsh is way too bloated. But it's a nice repo if you're looking for plugins and aliases.

The popularity of OMZ with the performance issues and update nags really makes me wonder if people even notice or care about those two things.

If you use just a few plugins, it's really not that slow. But if you have a lot more, performance might become a real issue.

zinit did wonders for my config, would highly recommend:

Better to use zgenom, it supports almost every plugins and faster.
