[and] even after man-months spent tinkering, hunting down the right version on MELPA or MARMALADE (or whatever it is called)

MELPA and Marmalade are two separate ELPAs ("Emacs Lisp Package Archives") - others include MELPA Stable, GNU ELPA and quelpa.

i basically only use MELPA and GNU ELPA. In terms of the ~200 packages i've installed from MELPA, i can't remember having to deal with versioning issues at all. Further, despite some people fretting about the theoretical lack of stability of packages on MELPA, i've only rarely had to deal with broken packages - and those breakages have been fixed very rapidly by the maintainers. (i maintain a few ELisp packages myself, and also work to address issues with my packages promptly.)

I still couldn't get close to what Cursive gives me OOTB.

*nod*

However, Emacs configuration management has, i feel, improved significantly over the last couple of years, with things like `use-package`:

or `pallet`:

enabling one to create easily-reproducible config setups across environments/machines.
