I do like step by step guides as they provide a higher level of control, but after you've performed a setup like that 2-3 times, you start to lean towards more automated installs as iredmail or custom written scripts. So why maintain your own scripts when you can start with a ready made package.
What an irony. It will take them half an year to only come up with a process on how to modify the language, when the creators of languages like Go, Clojure, etc can modify a substantial part of their respective language during this time frame.
