I use LXD containers to develop an app with a lot of big external dependencies that are currently not yet managed in a "nice" way (i.e. for now it's extract source tarball / make / make install). I installed CLion inside the container and use the host X server to display the IDE and the app being developed. The containers are so useful to isolate the main system from these make install and to be able to install the dependencies or rollback to a previous version in case of mistake without fearing side effects on the host system.
