I think for the development story, we had vagrant in the 2010s which IMO provided a much better experience for developers to set up reproducible dev environments.

Docker excels at bundling up all the dependencies of a piece of software for deployment.

Devcontainers definitely work these days, but I miss vagrant.

I disagree completely. Vagrant worked for your org or your setup but people hardly ever (in my experience) delivered the recipe, or the steps to setup.

Yes, sometimes the vagrant-configure thing had a few lines, but most people shipped an iso with stuff installed. It could have been done, but wasn't being done.
