I don't use Dist::Zilla (and have never used it)

That's perfectly fine. I don't use it either as it is vast overkill for my simple needs. I have had to work with it when contributing to the dists of others where it was already installed and that really did not encourage me to use it any further.

It is used to automate away a lot of boilerplate when authoring dists and is probably really useful for those maintaining hundreds of dists.

    Or for those maintaining a few dists whose dyslexia guarantees that they'll mess up the boilerplate if they have to do it by hand.

    Yes, totally fine - I need to update the language to imply wiggle room! It's been very interesting to see how people do their stuff.
