We can also see what have succeded before, for example packages like powerline 
or fonts like Hacks or Cantarell. They have succeded independently of operative 
systems, editors or tools. The default color scheme, graphical or tui. These 
are the kind of initial things I wanted to ask to the new user if there is not 
config file. If he dont want any help can get the defaults, else he could 
choose and the first impresion could be much much better.
