Most of my coworkers on Windows use none of these desktop applications, there's very little value in their features if you're already using WSL2 and the docker integration of your favorite IDE.
- pjmlp 1y agoWell, it depends if people have a background as Windows developers, or UNIX refugees on Windows.
- smw 1y agoYou're missing the fact that "docker desktop" actually provides the docker daemon as well as a GUI. There are alternatives for both Mac and Windows, but I'd wager that many people use "docker desktop" just for the ability to run docker containers from the cli.
- hocuspocus 1y agoWindows and macOS are specifically not the same here. WSL2 provides everything you need to install the docker daemon and CLI, and the VS Code extension gives you a pretty decent GUI, there's no need for anything else really.
