Sakura is my go to terminal now. It along with oh-my-zsh is a lovely
setup if you're new to zsh. It's gigantic, but once you get an idea of
what you want you can then pare it down.

I have a customized zshrc with years worth of additions so I don't use
oh-my-zsh, but I can see the appeal with the colorize and git plugins
amongst others.
