These days, aside from configuration (which is no small thing), one's data is often stored or at least very frequently backed up in the cloud. If this service vanished overnight, you would likely just lose the time it takes to tune a similar dev environment. If you have a git repo with your dot files and such, and you use symlinks where possible in your tools to refer to your master config repo, then re-setting up your dev env can be nearly instant. If this service was database hosting, then I would be more concerned about 1-person operation.
