If you've already standardized on Docker Compose for development, is there an advantage to migrating to devcontainers?

DevContainers allow for setting up your IDE with extensions, rules, and other configuration. They also support Docker compose so migration shouldn't be that bad

Are people sharing their editor configs with this? I thought it was a way of getting a development environment setup, but those shouldn't have editor extensions and configuration.

Yes, certain extensions and settings (formatting) go along with setting up the dev environment:
