awesome-shell/README.md
Joshua Levy b834edfb29 New sections for clarity.
The section organization was getting to be a bit confusing. Some reorganization:
- Pull out Zsh-specific items (since most people want them together or not at all).
- Split "Utilities and Tools" (the biggest section) into sections for command-line productivity,
  system utilities, command-line applications.
- Clarify section names and descriptions.
