I use salt for configuration management of the machine itself (system-wide settings, packages), a dotfiles git repo for desktop configuration files with submodules for certain things (like package managers for vim and zsh). For development environments, JetBrains IDEs have their own cloud config sync thing and I try to stick to defaults as much as possible (and rely on the language environment's tooling for linting/formatting/etc rather than the one in the IDE).
