dotfiles help a lot here, they should have them for more things

npm & git's local directory awareness is a lifesver

rvm / nvm are great when the shell integration is turned on, direnv is wonderful

gap seems to be with native packages -- there isn't one of these for brew / apt-get, and language-level package managers fail on these deps a lot

inability to map local hostnames to docker is also a problem -- that would make it easier to manage multiple environments at once
