Its not docker's fault, its the fault of the stack of crap that is needed to run it(WSL and co). My point is that it isn't worth the trouble. I could figure it out myself, but dev containers don't bring enough value to my team to justify the investment, and I really dont want to spend a bunch of time troubleshooting issues related to it not just for myself, but for everyone on my team. I played that role before, and it is exhausting to have to do that on top of the other things I need to do.

Docker is really great for CI, for deployments, etc. I really like it, and i have spent a significant chunk of my career developing expertise in it. Its not something I would recommend locally unless you have no other choice, or you're running Linux and are able to use it natively.
