The devel tools in "dev container" pattern though really works so
well IMO there's not *too* much excuse not to do it. The main

This really depends on what you're developing.
I don't see the "dev container" workflow work for a Gtk app... you'd have to build it in the container, and then run it outside of the container. It sounds to me like this would get confusing really quickly.
(stuff like "why doesn't this work? oh, I'm in the container still")
Last time I checked you can't run graphical applications inside "normal" containers (but that was a while ago, so maybe I'm outdated)?

To be clear I mean your *existing* desktop.
I think it'd be beneficial if you could write a blog post explaining your environment setup and workflow.
(or maybe a wikipage that we could use as a "user story" kind of thing)
