You're correct: omz adds not a lot to vanilla zsh.
It consists of:
- collection of plugins/themes
- auto update
- way to customize them
Everything could be done directly in .zshrc, it's just a bit more convinient
- sshine 3y agoI used zsh for a few years before oh-my-zsh became a thing. I have to admit that I don't find it more convenient. It takes an ecosystem where things have a way of working, and establishes new conventions on top of those using a new set of environment variables. So if you know zsh, you don't know oh-my-zsh. A vanilla zsh will feel very bare. A vanilla oh-my-zsh will feel very feature rich. If you end up configuring zsh anyways, I don't see the point at all.
