i've probably spent a collective 8 hours of my life trying to get powerline working on the command prompt of my work vm. i have not succeeded, because of the problems
one time i had to ssh into a coworker's machine for something and they had powerline set up. i was about to ask them how they did it when i realized: they were using zsh, not bash
i'm... not ready to take that leap
@monorail I don't recall noticing any difficulty switching from bash to zsh, but I also never was a power user and I only did it to use the excellent grml zshrc
@noiob oh yeah this is not a rational fear of mine
