When I forked my dotfiles project I took the time to learn what most of the changes, commands, and config did. I removed a lot that I didn't find relevant. But I don't think I'd have gotten near to the current state if I'd started from scratch. I think there's value in learning what prepackaged configs provide and tailoring them. I don't necessarily agree that starting from scratch is optimum for most though.
