Maybe it's just me but I find the two week problem to be less about configuring my dev environment. Give me a sufficiently unix like box hg and I'm configured in less than 5 minutes.

It's more about getting up to speed the system I'm developing on and I have difficulty seeing how that can be properly abstracted out into a general solution.

Oh and of course the obligatory "You can have my emacs running evil-mode when you pry it from my cold dead hands".
