It depends on how large your organization is and what specific quirks need to be configured to do your work. Its not unusual for large organizations to have internally hosted registries (Artifactory), source control and network proxies. This usually requires setting up different config files (.npmrc for Node.js/NPM), installation of custom root certificates, ssh keys, etc. None of that includes project/team specific configurations and workflows. Take all that and multiply it by thousands of developers and you have a recipe for an endless stream of Slack chats, email chains, and Teams messages repeating the same config questions and answers. If you can reduce all that down to a single docker pull, while making sure everyone's development environment is consistent, it can be a big win.
