This is exactly my journey with tooling. I still customise my environment more than the vast majority of people - and write user scripts and styles for websites I use heavily - but I don't need or want to have every single thing exactly how I envision it. It made more sense to customise when you had a limited environment you used and never much changed, but what's really changed is I'm twice as old now :)
