To be honest, I still have yet to see one of these systems that beats simply using Bash. They're all trying to make a scripting problem into a configuration problem. That's sometimes a reasonable idea, when what you're doing is common enough that only a few things here and there need to diverge from the defaults. But every image I've ever had to create contained far more edge cases than default cases, and half of those edge cases are things nobody thought of and therefore their system doesn't handle it. Rather than trying to fight with one of these systems to get them to do something I could easily do with a few Bash commands, I find it easier to just script the setup in Bash to begin with. Obviously that doesn't work for Windows systems.
