I totally understand that, I'm not a young mind anymore, and I get that most of these are pointless superficial tricks. I spend most of my days venting about the state of computing (especially since web2.0 came and replaced a lot of stuff with bloated regressions in many offices)
But I considered readline a good addition, not a waste of time and neurons.
ps: I stopped using zsh/fish, my emacs theme is the vanilla theme.. you forget about these 'improvements', for real tasks they don't matter.

Maybe I shouldn't have included this comment after the `pointless superficial tricks` :)

Fish truly is superior for productivity.

It has its downsides unfortunately.

It is one of the saddest self-realizations in my old age that I am no longer excited about learning/perfecting my tools.
But as you say, tools must get out of the way...
If the tools such as base environment changes way too often, I'd be annoyed as well - not because I don't know how to make the colours go away or set up the proper aliases - but the fact that I need to do it and pause my actual work.
