How I manage multiple kubernetes clusters w/ kubectx & kubens
I love powerline over traditional PS1 (aka command prompt). It's beautiful and highly customizable.

How do you work with buffers?
Powerline (and airline, as well as all plugins of that kind) offers, among other things, a GUI that helps you manage buffers and tabs. There are plugins that do just that and nothing else, which are best used alongside powerline/airline/etc, for example bufferline.

Is Vim worth the investment?
Powerline Provides a much nicer status line in Vim, including integration with Git to tell you what branch you’re on and the tracking status of the file you’re working on.

What is the name of the cli tool that shows your current branch and changes you've made?
powerline includes prompts for bash and zsh that include git info. (despite selling itself as a vim statusline, I believe you can use its shell prompts without using it with vim.)

What are these characters? They look sort of like shurikens
Could also be a patched font. Some fonts use the private use area of unicode to draw glyphs for use in interface. Check out for example these patched fonts for Powerline on GitHub. Powerline is a status line plugin for vim and it uses text to draw the interface. If you download one, drop it on a font visualizer e.g. fontdrop.info you'll see a range of specific glyphs inside the private use area (E000–F8FF). There's even an Ubuntu logo at E0FF.

Add Powerline glyphs to IBM Plex fonts
IBM Plex is an interesting font that I'm looking forward to, and I would like to try it out. However, you may be in similar setup as I am, which relays on Powerline glyphs in order to display vim/statusline/prompt correctly.
