Saying "nothing" is overstating the case.
In a corporate shop of the common sort where everything is Windows and Azure,
even the developers will have Windows on their daily development box.
When the company starts to deploy on docker & Kubernetes in Azure (whether or not that's a wise decision),
the Windows environments are going to have a tough time because most tools for the container world are Linux-centric. It can work passably on a MacOS system,
on Windows it's a completely different picture.
Giving developers VS Code with a pre-configured environment eases the migration.

In a corporate shop of the common sort where everything is Windows and Azure, even the developers will have Windows on their daily development box. I meant that Dev Containers are not Windows-specific. They are probably used on MacOS just as much as Windows and you could also use them if you worked natively on Linux. I just did not want a reader to get the impression this is only for devs working on Windows
- cratermoon 3y agoOh yes, dev containers work wherever docker and vs code work. If the production environment is Kubernetes, though, I prefer to develop with Kubernetes or minikube, to better align with production behavior.
