The current install process does not make it clear enough that you need to copy anything from your backed-up .zshrc into the new copy that Oh My Zsh makes. Yes, it is mentioned in the documentation, but it is not prominent enough there, and it should appear on the command line (probably with a confirmation step to show that the user understands that this is happening.)
Steps to reproduce
Install Oh My Zsh
Don't notice the italicized note in the README that says you have to copy things over
Be very sad next time you restart your terminal and a bunch of stuff is broken
Expected behavior
During installation, Oh My Zsh prompts you to confirm that you understand you need to copy things from the backed-up copy of .zshrc if you want to keep them.

Hi! We're actually echoing some messages warning the user that we're overwriting the zshrc. Since oh-my-zsh is a framework (and not a library) it makes sense to start from scratch and then the user should append anything else needed.
In case you want to install oh-my-zsh without overwriting zshrc you can set this variable.
Thanks!
