antidote VS zpm

Although there are all sorts of Zsh starter kits and plugin managers out there, based on what you've described as an OMZ user, it seems like you would benefit most from investing in customizing your OMZ config with a $ZSH_CUSTOM folder and then saving your $ZSH_CUSTOM folder in a cloud git provider like GitLab, BitBucket, or GitHub.

Zinit seems overly complicated. I prefer antidote

Awesome! Glad it works well for you. Feedback welcome if you run into problems or would like to see new features: https://github.com/mattmc3/antidote/issues

[[ -e ~/.antidote ]] || git clone https://github.com/mattmc3/antidote.git ~/.antidote

Some notable features: - Antidote is not written in Go - it's a native Zsh implementation - Your existing antibody ~/.zsh_plugins.txt file should work without modification - All antibody commands are implemented (bundle, help, home, init, list, path, purge, update) for compatibility - If you load your plugins statically like you did with antibody, the performance is still astounding and will continue to rival any other plugin manager (Go not required, though I have nothing against Go - it's truly a great language) - I combed through old antibody issues for non-implemented feature requests and plan to implement some of them. Some, like zsh-defer support are already available - Cloning and updating are done in concurrently just like in Go - The feature roadmap is available by looking at the open GitHub issues

Plugin managers: ZI, Zinit, Zpm, Zgenom, Zgen (after and if the PR will be merged).

So I went spent a day going through every single plugin manager on the awesome zsh page. Most hadn't been updated in over a year which left me with a few, very new projects (only a handful of commits) and miniplug , zpm, and zgenom as the most likely candidates.
