Description
I used a lot of frameworks, and the most of them are using an .env file
Maybe it is a good idea to add an .env file to amber, so it is easy to change the config?

.env is a nice tool to mock environment variables in development, but it's not a good way to store all the config an application needs. It's easy enough to add something like cr-dotenv to an amber project if you want it, but the out of the box configuration is designed so that you don't need to use or specify environment variables in a file or elsewhere.
Amber has config/development.yml and friends because yaml is a better way to store and document configuration parameters than a flat file and because not everything should be an environment variable.
