> # uncomment for a colored prompt, if the terminal has the capability; turned off by default to not distract the user: the focus in a terminal window should be on the output of commands, not on the prompt
:eyeroll:
What a horrible attitude. The point of coloring is precisely to help users focus on the output that matters, rather than forcing them to parse and reparse a chunk of stuff they don't care about. If the prompt is colored, my brain can filter it out much faster than if it isn't.
By all means disable color by default for backward-compatibility purposes or to err on the safe side, but don't lecture people with rubbish arguments...
