'oh my zsh' is fun, but they really throw the kitchen sink in there. I had to get rid of it because terminal startup speed and doing anything in large folders was incredibly slow

If all the components of 'oh my zsh' were compiled into the shell and shared data structures, I bet it would be as fast as bash and only limited by IO

I believe that a lot the stuff you like from oh-my-zsh is in fish natively. You might check it out sometime.
