    So it’s a different way to get a standard operating environment.

    Could you not achieve something similar by making the build and test happen in the docker container, while keeping the IDE etc separate? Bundling the IDE seems a bit overkill.

    Fwiw, in my experience, “it works on my laptop” is a great way to shake out bugs/API implementation quirks, so that’s a benefit for our team. Plus we have a mishmash of IDEs, so prescribing one or the other would probably cause more problems than it solved.

    Still, interesting solution for those who have the problem.
