Why not keep your config externally available and reuse when setting up again? With Emacs that is easily possible.

That would not have helped much with the jobs where I needed to use some proprietary IDE, or which involved some OS on which Emacs was poorly supported.

(If I had already been an Emacs fan, I suppose I could have found some way to forcibly bodge things together and use my preferred editor regardless: but I'm afraid it's never appealed to me.)
