zinit VS sheldon

I just searched github for the latest fork, and it looks like the most recent fork is https://github.com/ryanstreur/zinit. I went ahead and forked it just in case and I have a version locally that I pulled down at Oct 12 17:12 PST. All zinit forks are showing as being forked from https://github.com/akatrevorjay/zplugin since https://github.com/zdharma/zinit is gone.

I personally prefer zinit to oh my zsh. Lets you use all the oh my zsh plugins without downloading everything (I think that's how it still works?), lets you manage outside plugins in the same way, and is really fast to boot.

zinit has a turbo mode to load plugins asynchronously

In particular, I am curious about your opinion on part document structure.

Usage sample (using zinit) GENCOMPL_FPATH=$HOME/.cache/zsh-completion-generator if [ ! -d "$GENCOMPL_FPATH" ]; then mkdir -p $GENCOMPL_FPATH fi fpath=($GENCOMPL_FPATH $fpath) zstyle :plugin:zsh-completion-generator programs fzf zinit wait'3' lucid for RobSis/zsh-completion-generator

I prefer sheldon[1] for the few plugins I use

Personally, I prefer https://github.com/rossmacarthur/sheldon. It's simple yet flexible, fast and shell agnostic.

Yes! rossmacarthur/sheldon is easy to use.

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.

I noticed that sheldon is missing from those benchmarks. Does it not qualify as a "zsh framework"?

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.
