I started feeling the same, about the configuration time sinks ... my solution was to create ansible-configurable docker images with everything setup ... so I can throw away and recreate the images once a month, when the plugins get screwed up (which they really do, about once a month or so!):

- Go version: https://github.com/samuell/devbox-golang

- Python version: https://github.com/samuell/devbox-python

I love being able to SSH in to a fresh docker (yes, I use fat SSH:able docker), and enjoy full auto-completion for python and Go! :)

But yeah, except for the auto-completion and a few minor tweaks, there's not too much extras there.

Why not handle the configurations with git? Handling dotfiles with git is pretty common nowadays, and you can roll back/forward as you please.

Plus, the overhead is a lot less.
