Yes. Yes very please. Every time I have to reinstall or get a new computer, I spend a week or two saving & backing up the old and setting up the new - installing dozens of programs and tweaking tweaking.

How to get app developers on board is the big question. There's a sort of critical mass that has to be reached, I think. Another issue is how, exactly, to stamp out malware?
