I like https://github.com/milkbikis/powerline-shell a lot too. In special my Bazaar-enabled fork: https://github.com/rbanffy/powerline-shell

I wish the -h option worked in a slightly different way - whilst it's nice to see unit suffixes, especially for large files, it does make comparing the sizes of a long list of files much more difficult. Even adding a space between the size and the unit would help; coloring according to the unit might be even better.

adding the sort option to ls may help you there: $ ls -hS

Wow - now I feel foolish! :-) How many more years of unix use will it take before it sinks into my thick skull that, 99 times out of 100, the feature I want is never so obscure that it's not already catered for...

It is not you, unix makes all of us feel like that :)
