Fully agree with this.
To the extent where I wish there was an "environment service" wherein I simply specify the desired packages and tools I want via GUI (No JSON or Terraform or anything other than radio buttons and drop downs) - and I get a spooled up VM with all the dependencies and paths perfectly built in with no jank package clashes or deprecated packages that need patching.
