Hi! Right now all plugins are in the same category. It is absolutely impossible to navigate through them.
May be it will be wise to separate them?

What categories do you suggest? I'd moved the ones that only provided tab completions into a different section, but am open to other categories

At least, it is possible to distinguish these:

  • git
  • development (the name is not quite right, I mean plugins to work with the things like rmv, maven and so on)
  • external services (JIRA, GitHub, CanIUse, ...)
  • Working with OS
  • CLI commands (aliases and so on)

What do you think?

@sobolevn, I think it's better to use more general category name like cvs instead of git

Maybe one category could be "Plugin Managers".

Problem is , that'd be most of the list. Its just plugin managers for managing plugin managers. Turtles all the way down.

The plugin managers should all be in the Frameworks section. If there are any still in plugins that I missed, please either create an issue or a PR.

I think it would be a good idea to split the remaining plugins into those that just provide simple aliases and wrapper functions to ease the use of external commands, and those that do something more complicated.

Examples of these alias-only plugins would be things like the "arc", "apache2", "basex" and "drupal" plugins (just to mention a few randomly picked from the near the beginning of the list.

The way I see it, I want it to be easier to discover plugins that have actual "substance" to them. Things like "fast-syntax-highlighting" and "fzf-tab" should not be hidden in a sea of trivial plugins.
