I have been leveraging `ansible` to store my development workstation setup since I found out that playbooks can be applied locally pretty easily. It removes a lot of script maintainence burden even though there are cases we still need to resort to manually written script. `ansible` is declarative, and idempotent. It reads easier than a procedural script (even to someone that has not used ansible before), and can make cross-platform easier.
