When I first got involved I learned to turn absolutely everything 
'config' off except for my one and only .zshrc file so that I'd at least 
know where to look if things went strange.  Then I picked a sample 
.zshrc on faith off the internet and slowly by trial and error figured 
out what half of it does.  The other half is still a mystery, mostly the 
'complete completer completion completing' stuff -- and I get the 
feeling no one really understands it fully anyway. Like  with everything 
else, the docs assume you are already an expert.  But a beginner's guide 
to configuration would have sure been nice.  I bitched about this a 
little bit: the setup utility should offer you several config options 
complete with a brief description of what each one offers.  Mind, I was 
coming from DOS whereas most zsh converts are already shell experts, so 
my culture shock was much worse than for most.
