I am developing in a container - most of the time - as this allows me to run the (micro-)service within it's defined ecosystem, so no need to mock any service boundaries. Note: New services and major functionalities are usually developed locally with unit-tests ensuring compliance with the spec. But once this is done and stuff needs to be integrated with the real system - or debugged later on - there is IMHO nothing that can beat a complete copy of the real system running locally where one can easily manipulate whatever is needed.
