We do also really need to fix the ZopeSkel situation. Right now a ton of tutorials give instructions for it that just don't work with the new version, which is a huge huge barrier for newbies. But having ZopeSkel implementation and docs in sync is a different problem than getting a working development set up, so I don't understand the stop energy from people. plone-devstart and ZopeSkel are complementary tools.
Our problem with ZopeSkel goes beyond keeping docs in sync. We never finished ZopeSkel < 2.99 -- as it has a zopeskel script that did not support local commands -- and we decided to go with a new idea (templer) with ZopeSkel 3.0 and that is in a zombie state (again, no local commands), and then we saw this whole ZopeSkel situation deserved a new approach (Crushinator) and that is also stalled somewhere.

And just to avoid any "lost in translation" stuff: I really liked plone-devstart, I do not want to stop anything. I believe we need to look at the landscape and simplify it as much as possible. Let's choose between ZopeSkel/Paster, ZopeSkel/Templer or Crushinator and make it work, otherwise plone-devstart is just a pair of training wheels for a marathon runner.
