Aside from differences of opinion/preference, I notice that they specifically promise that it's ok to run multiple times on the same machine. workstation-setup doesn't guarantee that but I don't think it's grossly non-idempotent -- it's probably pretty close.
I like the language-flavor customizations that workstation-setup allows

In the similar vein of sprout-wrap, I wonder how workstation-setup compares to Thoughtbot's laptop https://github.com/thoughtbot/laptop? I'm interested in trying it because it's bash only, with a clear customization path.
My biggest pain point with sprout, which both workstation-setup and laptop solve, is that it's written in Ruby, and so many of our clients aren't using Ruby at all. Highlighting that workstation-setup is all bash is probably a win.

We do strive for it to be safe to re-run workstation-setup. We should probably call that out better in the README.
