Yes really. When I have to work on N platforms that are constantly shifting, I don't want to spend the overhead and mental effort to reconfigure the ones that can be reconfigured, and eat nameless dread on the ones that can't. When you view code across dozens of platforms, across dozens of machines, your perspective on "high maintenance config" everywhere changes a bit. If you can't be effective with default configs, you lose efficiency to config maintenance. Really, the last thing I want to deal with while I'm triaging some critical issue is dependency management for N code viewers.
