Prompt Customizations
I believe that you should take some time to customize your working environment to fit both your needs -and- your preferences, including the command prompt.
Have you adjusted the mirrors on your car? Have you moved the drivers seat? Have you programmed the radio presets to your favorite radio stations? - If you do all of these things, why wouldn't you take the time to adjust your prompt too?
For a detailed explanation of how I customize my command prompt, go read my Prompt Customizations article.
