Hi there, thank you for your feedback.

I'd like to better understand, where you see the massive time consuming process.

tmux-powerline is providing a working default status line right away after install. The generation of the config.sh.default is already optional and provides you with the actual config for the default. You only need to cp/move and change/uncomment something there if you want to change the status line.

However, i agree that it would be nice to have the default config being generated automatically on install directly into ~/.config/tmux-powerline/config.sh (of course only if not already existing). I'll have a look into that.

While we're at it, we should also provide some examples in the default config on how to set/override the actual status bar segments of the theme.

Happy to hear your thoughts

What I mean by it being difficult is that you have to uncomment and unfold a lot of code to get the stock config, it would make more sense for it to just generate the default config so people can just tweak the values they need from it

As said, if you move the config.sh.default to config.sh you have the "stock" config, you don't have to uncomment/unfold anything.
So basically the behaviour should already be like you wish it to be (besides you have to move the file, which could be improved like we already discussed).
Maybe you have an example?
