Agree.

To me the biggest hurdle in programming is not the programming itself but the sys-admin effort to setup a development environment.

I know this is a shot in the dark, but if you're a Rails developer, use Heroku. It takes a lot of pain out of an applications deployment.

development environment, not deployment. You're certainly right about deployment but it's sort of a non-sequitor to the post you're responding to :)
