A few days old but I wanted to contribute anyways:
I do a really fresh/clean install. I install tools as I need them and find myself leaving tools behind often and trying things out. I get setup on new machines pretty often: whether I installed a new linux distro on my chromebook, finally dual-booting Linux on my PC, or just setting up a dev VM.
Anyways, I recently abandoned using Tmux because I prefer using i3 as my window manager and it works for me much better because now I can not only tile terminal windows but also other utilities.
I've also moved on from using CMDer straight to using ConEmu on my Windows machine. Every reinstall is basically doing inventory of my tools.
Obviously, I keep a repo of dotfiles and other settings files.
