Dev Containers: A Simple, Honest Review

Dev Containers provide consistent development environments across different operating systems and team setups.

TL;DR

Dev containers turn a complex setup guide into code and give every person the same working environment. They help when your project is not simple, when people use different operating systems, or when you fight works on my machine bugs. They can slow things down and add extra upkeep if the project is already easy to run. Use them only when they remove real pain.
