agnoster VS es-shell

I used OhMyZsh for years with the Agnoster power line theme and over the years it got slower and slower. Tried Fish about 6 years ago and immediately spent the rest of the day tweaking an Agnoster theme to my liking because everything about it was better than Zsh and waaaay faster. My fork is here [0] for anyone interested, though the readme and screenshots are from the original.

I made the mistake last year of falling in love with xs-shell, talking to its maintainer (who recently put xs out to pasture, as it were) who is now moving all his stuff to es-shell, switching my romance to es-shell, merging in 2 forks of it to my own version https://github.com/pmarreck/es-shell/ aaaand having a kid and basically running out of time.

This shell makes a ton more sense to my brain than the usual bash/zsh/fish rigmarole, it just needs some love.

The last thing I was working on was a way to capture all of stdout, stderr and return code from a single run of a command, for testing purposes, because the OTHER thing es-shell desperately needs is a proper test suite. I figured one out for bash https://github.com/pmarreck/tinytestlib but not one for es yet.
