> I get the impression some people spend more time configuring these productivity tools instead of actually being productive.

I think that's not a consequence of the software, but that some people have an innate draw towards these sorts of activities.

e.g. take a look at the community around journalling. Tons and tons of subjectively beautiful layouts and designs, and productivity is merely a side effect.

Or look on amazon, there are so many extremely well selling books based around that very idea. Unfortunately the end result is usually feeling productive by reading the book, but then never actually being productive outside of that.
