> Note that i had wanted to get rid of powerline anyway, so i didn't bother trying to get it to work.

OT, but why? what did you switch to, if anything?

Its very heavy. I've been using airline for the last year or so. https://github.com/bling/vim-airline

Can't recommend Airline enough. It's functionally equivalent to Powerline, without the added burden of having to use Python in the background.

I switched to nothing. In the future i'd like to enable something, but Powerline was always a bit messy and performance intensive (using it in both vim and tmux). I just got a bit tired of it.

I'd like something, but i'm in no rush to find it.
