ble.sh
Bash Line Editor―a line editor written in pure Bash with syntax highlighting, auto suggestions, vim modes, etc. for Bash interactive sessions.
For me anyway, this alone (oh-my-zsh) suffices as the reason. It’s a one stop shop for all the sugar you’ll ever need in a shell IMHO. No need to even fumble with .*rc much because most of the stuff you want will already be there anyway.
thefuck, for folks who haven’t heard of it, corrects your previous shell command. Awesome tool, I use it everyday
By the way, Bash-it is the Bash equivalent to oh-my-zsh.
In terms of Bash plugins, outside of prompts (which I don't recommend, make your own please!) there's only really BLE (Bash-Line-Editor) that I find non-bloaty and or actually useful. It gives you syntax highlighting, a superior Vi mode, better auto completion (I personally have this turned off), and way more things, it's a line editor dahm it, you can now write code super easily in your shell prompt, as clicking Shift+Enter it makes a new line, and with Vi mode enabled it almost as if you have a mini Vi/Vim/NVim running as your readline.
