- rockwotj 3y agoYou’re not missing anything. The draw of these is a one click opinioned setup (containerized for codespaces). It does save a lot of time, but as someone who enjoys tweaking neovim config I don’t feel the draw. That being said, I did setup a codespace for a one click to try a new feature product and that was very cool.
- n2d4 3y agoIf you also enjoy tweaking VSCode configs, you can sync it with your GitHub account and all your configs will apply to Codespaces as well
- n2d4 3y agoIf you work on several projects in different environments and languages, and need to check out new ones quickly, it saves a lot of time if you don't have to set up an environment locally (especially if you don't even have the necessary platform or hardware).
- SV_BubbleTime 3y agoI work in embedded, but we just pushed out VSCode Dev Containers (docker images that natively run a vscode server that your client attaches to) and it has been the greatest thing ever. Clone the repo, open in container, complete toolchain with all the extensions and settings you’ll need. I absolutely love it.
