There's no such thing as a "true kernel developer". Some run their code in a VM because their code is something that can be tested in a VM, some test on a real hardware PC, some write the build onto a flash card and put it in a non-PC system (usually an ARM or MIPS based embedded device). All depends what your resources are, and what code you're testing.
