Simplistically, it seems like this is something that a team could do for themselves using tools like Vagrant (with Packer and/or Ansible), individual user licenses for Sublime Text, and a Github account.
Host the newly created development VM locally, or on AWS, Azure, or DigitalOcean and you're good to go.
Sure, that's a couple of tools and subscriptions (that you'll likely already need/have, even if you use Nitrous.io), but I'm not quite sure I quite get what benefit Nitrous.io would provide over a company-maintained and customizable deployment "solution".
For a team that is starting with a blank-slate, maybe it's a short-cut and easier to maintain?

- voltagex_ 13y agoIs this just a more configurable version of Ninite? I couldn't see any mention of available packages on the site.
- j_s 13y agoThe packages available would be those provided by Chocolatey: https://chocolatey.org/packages https://chocolatey.org/packages Chocolatey takes the NuGet tooling used to extend Visual Studio and uses the same approach to manage installing random software. BoxStarter then builds on all these ideas to take care of the initial setup of a machine. If you just want a bigger ninite, check out http://allmyapps.com/ http://allmyapps.com/
