Thr Dev Container ecosystem for VsCode really is quite impressive at the moment. All your dev dependencies, wrapped up in a docker image per repo.


Heh if you can work around ALL its weird quirks, especially on windows.


Having supported team members where we were all running this setup there was constant fiddling with docker. Containers would freeze and often required restarting docker directly. Especially with WSL on windows.

It’s slick when it works.


I noticed similar things, and found most these problems went away with more memory, and less usage of the "{}.features[]" in the `devcontainer.json` file.


What quirks have you come across. The only annoyance for me was ssh agent having to uninstall the windows store version


100%. I've been using that and also the DevContainer support in IntelliJ/IDEA which is good but has some limitations (e.g. I can connect IntelliJ but not CLion at the same time).
