Yup. Everybody and their dog want fancy prompts with lots and lots of info, and I never understood why. Most of the time I don't need any information on my bloody prompt. I just need it to sit there and alert me if something is unusual, maybe, but not to get into my hair otherwise.
A couple of years ago I settled on one minimalist prompt, and I've used it ever since. I've even written my own post about fancy prompts[1] … I guess everybody has to have one!
I agree. In fact, reading your post, I'd nearly call your prompt fancy, mine just tells me user, and directory, everything else I'll runn a command for.
