I don't think the hard part is configuring libraries and services or anything like that. When needed, anyone with enough competence to read the docs and peek into the source code and do whatever's necessary. The real pain is that those who had stepped on this road have to always run at the top of their lungs, trying their best to catch up with this giant hipster bandwagon. The language and frameworks change every other day, with old code rotting away at an astonishing speed. Not everyone's cut for this kind of pace. There are other areas than webdev, where things are more stable without stagnation.
