By "gave up", do you mean the shared-folder idea, or the whole thing, i.e. using a Linux VM for dev from a Mac / Windows host? I'm seriously pondering not having to deal with re-installing my dev environment on the Mac because even with Homebrew and rbenv and such tools, dependency hell is around every corner.\

Gave up on the shared folder thing and contented myself with the whole toolchain being in the inner system.
