Hate its popularity at my job.. it’s fine if you want to use it for a tech stack in the background like a db or cloud emulation.. but call me old fashioned I think if you’re walking around calling yourself a software engineer, loading up software and tools is part of the job.

+1 That's not a thing at my job but I have given up using docker to replace the native dev environment. The idea of having each dev environment isolated and therefore not polluting the host system seems appealing but impractical. Performance penalty is a big issue if you are not on a Linux desktop. Docker can be handy at times for things like bootstrapping an integration test environment but I prefer having a native dev environment where I can run commands for the projects, run unit tests locally and debug easily, all of which require extra hoops to jump through if done in Docker.
