Every time. Many times copy paste parts of previous projects plus modifications.
Most of the code I write is javascript outside frameworks, thus the need to do the bootstrapping myself.
Btw, it's not irritating it's fun.
As a team, we had to do this too often. With every new project, it was getting more frustrating and felt like an utter waste of our time we were spending on configuration rather than solving the actual problems.
This lead us to creating Hix - a setup wizard injected into every new Ruby on Rails project flow.
So if you are thinking for doing something similar - highly recommended.

IMHO this would give us a fixed set of templates and we do lose the fine grained control on what we want and we dont

It might not match what you want/need but you can ask the user to choose options and that is regularly used by template creators to allow fine grained control on output for things like technology options.
Sounds like you already have an idea for something though:)
Yup, will share once I make some progress on it
We were loosing a lot of time creating new Angular Apps at work and sometimes the newly generated app was already out of date when it was made by someone who didnt do his updates. So, I created a CLI App that generates a new project based on the answers of the user.

I've created a boilerplate for myself for this. Every webapp/PWA project needs almost the exact same base. Do you have a better solution maybe?
Not sure, if we can build a universal scaffolder where you just say what library, transpiler only with few config you care and it does all the heavy lifting
I often do that as I haven't yet figured the way out. However, it becomes so irritating and boring due to all of the configurations that might be involved. What is your idea?

So what do you do when you start a new web project
