Current state of plugin managers
If you liked legacy antigen or antibody, and want something lightning fast, I recommend antidote (obviously, I'm biased here)

Introducing Antidote - A native zsh continuation of the antibody plugin manager
Hey everyone! I was pretty bummed out when antibody, the Zsh plugin manager I came to rely on, was deprecated last year and went into maintenance mode. It seems like all the Zsh plugin managers we've come to use and love have been disappearing or going into maintenance mode (antigen, zgen, zplug, zinit, etc). Thankfully projects like zdharma-continuum and Zgenom have been popping up to take over where others have left off (for zinit and zgen respectively), and new ones like Znap have come on the scene. But nothing showed up to give antibody users a compatible path forward. That changes now!

https://github.com/zdharma has suddenly disappeared. I haven't found any statement from Sebastian as to why. Sebastian Gniazdowski is the author of well know projects such as `zinit` and `fast-syntax-highlighting` and regular contributor to this community. Anyone have any background about why?
I use Antibody for that: https://getantibody.github.io/

Zsh Plugin managers
Antibody was mothballed. The author now points to other Zsh plugin managers as having caught up in speed to Antibody. See https://github.com/getantibody/antibody#maintenance-mode

Cool new things on linux world for fresh installation and a bit of my usage different things.
I set up my own config instead of using the grml one, so I use antibody for managing zsh plugins, and I use the following plugins:

The VSCode Insiders Build for Apple Silicon is ridiculously fast
Antibody is deprecated. Is there any other fast zsh plugin managers? I’m currently using Powerlevel10k’s instant prompt and oh-my-zsh.

zsh doesn't output anything when there's an segfault
Without looking too closely, I see that zplug disables monitor in at least three places in its code, and that some people have issues with it not getting re-enabled due to a stale lock file: zplug#374

A single-command setup script for Zsh, Prezto and Powerlevel10k theme
I've been meaning to automate my Zsh setup for a long time, and have finally done it based on this awesome GitHub project. I updated the installation script to use Prezto and zplug to keep things a bit tidier, and added an option to automatically download the recommended Nerd Font for Powerlevel10k theme.

s/bash/zsh/g
Yes it is incredibly heavyweight, but it's very batteries-included in its approach, which helps zsh newbies get started.
For those who want to shed the heavyweight omz stuff, I recommend zplug [0]

Zsh Plugin managers
I've been using zplug for a while now. Pretty happy with it. Some people say it's slower, but it's not been enough to be an annoyance.
