Right, this is what DevAssistant does. You can easily create a project
in your favourite language and DevAssistant does all the dirty work for
you (installing packages you will most likely need for programming in
that language, setting up an IDE, e.g. Vim or Eclipse, git, creating a
project template etc.). 
If the main target group are developers, DevAssistant should be a big
thing for the workstation product. I would even consider preinstalling
it. Some integration with the rest of the desktop would be nice, too.
For example GOA can support GitHub, OpenShift,... and then you don't
have to set it up again in DevAssistant, but it can use GOA.
What really makes a difference is not to have all pieces, but to have
them nicely integrated to make a pleasant user experience.
