This is tricky as you cannot use current devtools for SLE11 maintenance

Yes, I know, but I can still use vim, git and other tools directly from my workstation which is very convenient. And I also do not need to copy my config files (like ~/.vimrc) to the VM.

Of course, for creating the final tarball I need a VM, but it can contain just a minimal system plus some yast devel packages needed for running "make -f Makefile.cvs && make package-local" and nothing else.

OK, that leads me to another nice idea, that we should split devtools and buildtools. Reason is quite simple. Buildtools is dependency of all yast modules ( so include stuff like rpmmacros or y2automake or rspec ) and need to contain almost none dependencies. On otherside devtools should take advance of various tools available from ruby world ( so nice CLI framework, metric fu for metrics of ruby code and various other stuff like syntax highliting you mention). Another nice sideeffect is that it is more logic for newcommers, that buildtools can be ignored as it is used only in build service and devtools is set of nice tools to help with yast development.
