Just to nitpick, it's from "pick nits", as in, remove lice eggs from your hair. No criticism implied; I thought you might want to know ... and if "niche" was an intentional pun, it's a good one. > it may /feel/ like abandonware since users don't create prompts using it often, whether they > know it exists at all, are just used to setting PS1 like in other shells or something else. The theme system was created with the intention of giving users a way to turn complicated prompts on and off, so that they could try out different appearances without having to repeatedly edit their config files and restart their shell. Some of the themes are simple enough that they really could just be copied into the user's init file. Others (like, well, "prompt bart") install a bunch of helpers, allow you to plug in your own color scheme, etc. Unsurprisingly, I use "prompt bart" and give it a different set of colors on hosts with different purposes or identities. I find things like using different border or background colors to be too distracting/jarring; coloring the prompt is sufficient.
