Roswell comes to mind for application building and distro management. Add in ningle for web app building and woo for the server (the benchmarks are really good), and you're basically good to go.

I think the main problem is there's too many implementations of the same thing in CL, so devs basically have to agree on a very specific subset of tools for every project, which adds a fair bit of overhead.

Last I tried it's not reliable. E.g. generating binaries through VM images is coin toss.
