I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.

Plugins are handled through a third-party tool (oh-my-zsh or whatever), they're not part of zsh are they? Most shells have those sort of plugin managers these days.
exa has a more readable output with colors and icons which you can look at and instantly know the filetypes of different files. It is also noticeably faster than ls.

ls supports colours and symbols for file metadata (they're things like / and *, not icons, and they don't differentiate between file types, but I've very rarely been bothered about that. Either a directory is so full you're better off asking ls *.png to dig out the pictures or it's small and organised and you don't need help reading it.
What is it that you find harder to customise in bash compared to zsh?
Also, what features of
exaare you using that aren't present inls?I may be wrong here but at least in my experience it was easier to install and configure plugins in
zsh.Not just this but
zshhas so many other features too!Plugins are handled through a third-party tool (oh-my-zsh or whatever), they're not part of zsh are they? Most shells have those sort of plugin managers these days.
