No shell does, I am using computers since 1986 and I don't these "pimp my shell" kind of stuff with rainbows and virtual pets.

CLI is for stuff that GUIs and IDEs for whatever reason don't support, or REPL like interactions.



The main thing I use the pimpshells for (and all I can honestly say is KNOW I’m using from omZ) is the colored/fancy prompts.

I’ve used colored informative prompts since DOS and having production servers be brilliantly red and dev servers a different color is quite helpful.


You don't need oh my zsh for colorful prompts though.


Yeah it's literally ANSI escapes.
