I did development on a VM for 4 years because the corporate policy was to issue everyone the same spec machine. An i5 with 8GB of RAM and 120GB SSD is a lot more pain than a VM. I work on a lot of systems with public and private facing endpoints and so I have a remote session running on a machine outside our network as well. It works pretty well.
