Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Available for many popular editors, terminals, etc.
Sublime, Atom, Vim, iTerm, Terminal.app, Zsh, Slack, TextMate, Emacs, Visual Studio Code/Visual Studio, Xcode, IntelliJ, and more.
Pro Great in lots of languages
Even for Markdown.
Pro Perfect color pitch
Colors are perfectly pitched, easy to focus on scripts and shells.
Pro Well designed
Pro Very good for the eyes
It looks very good, with a little of blue light. It also works very well with MacOS's Night Shift. I would recommend this theme for starters.
Pro Minimalistic
Uses a combination of colors to differentiate between different elements in the prompt. No brackets or unnecessary special characters.
Pro Very simple and clean + clear
Pro Git integration
Shows which git branch you are currently on and whether the branch is dirty (in that case it shows a * next to the branch name).
Pro Included in oh-my-zsh
This plugin is included in the base installation.
Cons
Con Consistency
Some colors are too vibrant and bright.
Con Hard on eyes
Con Inflexible
Configuration options are very limited. If the defaults don't work for you, you have to either patch the code or look for a different theme.
Con Requires a custom color scheme to look decent
It looks awful with all builtin color schemes. I couldn't make it look the way it does on the screenshot.
Con Git prompt stops working after some time
Con No number of background processes
You won't see if there are background processes running (or how many).
