Discussion on: How dependent are you on your development environment configuration?

Mostly, but my preferred editor is already 95% of the way to my standard configuration on a clean install, and that accounts for about 90% of the customization that's actually important for my efficiency.

The hard part wouldn't be configuration, it would be dealing with the lack of SSH and GPG identities that are quite literally required for me to do my job (I could recreate them from scratch, but that would be at least a few hours of delay before I could do anything since I'd have to notify and sync up with people in 2-3 other timezones multiple hours offset from my own).

SSH and GPG identities

That's a great point I hadn't considered, it's always necessarily close to step one of configuring a new development system.
