Yes, and no. That's like saying you get the same thing with Gentoo than with Ubuntu.

Yes; you get the same thing, but no; Oh-My-Zsh comes with a lot more you might not necessarily want.

I think that's debatable. If I had to be it would be on a 50/50 split. But that's considering that most people never change their default.

If my script were the default, my bet would be on a 90/10 split (at least). Yes, there are some people who do prefer the Zsh default but not many.

Seriously, submit yourself to one hour of the default Zsh completion, I bet you will consider it torture.
