Yeah I’ve spent a lot of time digging into devcontainers, and I think the basic answer is that they play nice with VScode/codespaces and not much else.

If you are using those, it gives you a nice push button way to get up and running. If you’re not using those, they’re pretty awkward — you just end up with images/containers that can only be built/run/interacted with using the devcontainer-cli tooling.

Would be nice if there was a simple standard way to point to a dockerfile in your repo (or even an image name) and say “build and run this for the dev env.” And the tools ecosystem could then reference and use standard container tools to build and run.
