prezto [1] is a nice alternative to oh-my-zsh. I find it to be faster and it's more modular.

Is it working properly now? Last time I've tried it I had to go back to oh-my-zsh because prezto screwed my terminal.

By the way, one of these days debugging the slow startup time of oh-my-zsh I found the culprit, virtualenvwrapper. Again I didn't have the time to good deep into that, so I just edited out that line from my .zshrc.

Seems to be using properly for me. I've been using it for a month now and I didn't have any issues with it. But that may be because I'm only using the basic plugins which are enabled by default, nothing fancy.

EDIT: I'm using urxvt btw

Be sure to read the documentation when installing zprezto on OSX. If you don't run the following, your PATH will be screwed up.

sudo chmod ugo-x /usr/libexec/path_helper
