I'm currently using z4h that provided me with sensible defaults for my zsh without spending a full week trying to understand all the options and rules of zsh (which I'm eventually going to do, but then I needed something to get me started).
Is there anyone else who started from z4h, but switched to zinit? If so, what made you switch? Also could anyone point out any advantages that makes you think zinit is a better configuration manager for zsh than z4h would be?
One thing that caught me off guard in z4h for example are problems with debugging it. When my shell wouldn't even start when I was on a spotty wifi connection (when traveling for example), which was caused presumably by unresponsive rclone google drive mounts (FUSE) I wasn't able to debug it. I don't even mean stepping through zsh code, but just disabling features one by one to tell what's causing it. There were some options to disable some features, but still it was doing a lot of "magic" under the hood that wasn't easily accessible for the users. Would that be something one could do with zinit?
