This looks very nice -- automated workflow setup for developers. It's essentially generalization across every "developer setup guide" you could possibly imagine

  Puppet/systemimager already exists for Linux users.

    Boxen works with puppet too, but they don't fulfill the same role. Boxen is about the sharing and centralization of your puppet-like tools. Presumably not everyone wants to write a developer workflow from scratch, and Boxen could solve that without requiring a Mac, right?

      Exactly -- no one wants to start from scratch. Puppet maintains something called, Puppet Forge [1] where anyone can uploads and share their puppet recipes. This goes beyond Puppet Forge, since it is a bundle of scripts that work together, so there is much added value to something like boxen. [1] http://forge.puppetlabs.com/ http://forge.puppetlabs.com/
