Zap: A minimal zsh plugin manager
Personally, I prefer https://github.com/rossmacarthur/sheldon. It's simple yet flexible, fast and shell agnostic.

Zim – The Zsh configuration framework with blazing speed and modular extensions
I’ve switched away from using OMZ as an all-in-one framework that takes over my .zshrc, but I still use some of its plugins. Its plugin management is too slow for my tastes, but there’s a few plugins that I came to rely on.
Switching to Sheldon [0] has given me the best of both worlds.

zcomet - Fast, Simple Zsh Plugin Manager
I noticed that sheldon is missing from those benchmarks. Does it not qualify as a "zsh framework"?

Zsh Plugin managers
I’ve been using sheldon for the past few months and been pretty happy with it. It seems plenty fast enough and the most obscure the verbiage gets is the toml config file.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing zinit and sheldon you can also consider the following projects:
zinit - Flexible and fast Zsh plugin manager with clean fpath, reports, completion management, Turbo, annexes, services, packages.
