I agree, but currently Docker on Mac is more about building/testing your server infra on your macOS dev machine before deploying it to Linux where it actually runs as "lightweight" containers.

Regardless, would still be great if we had native macOS container support!

Not if you run your entire dev setup through docker, though. I'm tired of python's craziness. Always someone on the team unable to do poetry install, because some variant of their system makes it not have a wheel, and suddenly a whole c++ toolchain needs to be installed. And if you maintain lots of projects with different versions it's such a hassle.

Now I volume mount the git clone folder into a container that has everything set up. And that setup works for everyone, on all OSes and not depending on local environments.

PyCharm uses that image as a remote interpreter, so pressing play in pycharm just works.

Wow, I hadn't thought of that use case. I agree Python's toolchain is just not easy to work with.
