Third generation of dotfiles

high level

  • The best terminal for macOS: Therm
    • "it make sense to not over-engineer or make it fully configurable with features that <10% of users use"
  • The best color scheme for terminal and editor: gruvbox
  • The best unix shell: zsh (thinking I'll go back to fish since zsh plugisn aren't consistent)
  • The best package manager for macOS: Homebrew (but not for everything nor version management as mentioned next)
  • The best version manager for multiple languages and tools: asdf (blog: https://medium.com/@sidneyliebrand/switching-to-asdf-version-manager-eb6569e4e562)
  • The best font: mononoki
  • The best documentation viewer: Dash
  • The best file search fzf. fzf (In terminal and in Neovim)
  • Neovim with maintained init.vim: neovim (Found SpaceVim to be inconsistent, Oni might be worth a try, Oni2 looks promising but just got started)
