Cons
Con Uses two lines
Con Sometimes the path gets in the way
Even though it abbreviates paths with ~
when they are in the home directory, deeply nested files or long paths often force the prompt to be squished against the width of the CLI, or in extreme cases wraps around multiple lines.
Con Better options for 'full-screen' cli use
Out of the box it misses out on features like battery remaining, time/date, etc.
