I use it at the moment and don't really find any noticable difference between running directly on my host, and in a dev container. If I were to measure the performance I'm sure there would be something, but it's not noticable in my development cycle.

They also seem to be pushing it beyond vscode and into something which is editor agnostic. It's not quite there yet on that front, but I'm excited for it as I've been dabbling with other editors recently which don't support devcontainers directly and it always pulls me back to vscode.

It's on a journey for sure, but I've had no performance issues when using it straight out of the box over the past year.
