The default layout is what feels comfortable to me and I chose starfish because I used to use starship with zsh, so I went with something I was familiar with and didn't think too much about it.

I didn't even know about tide until now but after a quick look I can't find any groundbreaking differences in the layouts compared to starfish.

I can Chime in. I use starship so all my shells are the same, and because it's fash as a greased weasel. Rust has advantages.

That said, I tide looks interesting as it's a native prompt.
