What tools or systems do you use to manage your time, improve your productivity or to make your life easier?
zgenom for zsh plugin manager. I've found this one to be fastest when compared to others since it generates a static init script

What is the best plugin manager in your opinion?
Author of Antidote here. I want to start by saying u/MrMarlon did a great job with znap, and it's a solid choice. zcomet and zgenom are also great. For modern Zsh plugin managers that are actively developed, I'd say these are my top 4 picks.

What if I told you you don't really need a Zsh plugin manager?
Have you had a look at zgenom?

zed - yet another plugin manager for zsh. Nothing fancy, nothing new. Just does the basic stuffs - pulls, compiles and loads the plugins... does some completion stuffs. Fairly simple implementation with about 300 LOC. Why? 'cause I used zinit before and it vanished recently... so why not? 🤷🏼♂️
Would you mind listing zgenom instead of/additionally to zgen? It's a maintained fork of zgen which has received some bug fixed and new features 😊

Or zgenom[0]. Or if you want to get ESPECIALLY froggy and async with your shell startup, zinit[1]. I ran zinit for years before moving to zgenom. A large swath of electron apps use some weird NPM library to “resolve” your shell environment by kicking up a full interactive shell and then reading the environment variables out of it. zinit messed with that and would hang a lot because of all it’s async loading.
