I had a pretty comprehensive prompt (bash) not too long ago (lots of elements, all angry fruit salad), but went back to something much simpler in recent months (directory trunk, sometimes even just the good ol' "%"). Mostly due to creating lots of short-lived, single-purpose sessions, where I'm less likely to get lost.
One of the main reasons why I'm not switching over to zsh, and would probably see ksh93 or rc as more likely candidates - scripting features seem more interesting than spurious completion and extended globbing.
