I've been using VSCode + .devcontainer with great success.

I've also tried Nix recently, but couldn't grok it.

.devcontainer looks interesting that is a new take, I'm pretty stuck on my heavily modified vim though.

I played around with Nix a lot a few years ago but dropped it when I started needing to do non-trivial things often for packages that weren't available. It was just too much but I love their philosophy. Wish they wouldn't have used a DSL.

Haven't tested it myself, but there's now a cli to decouple devcontainers from VSCode:
