I agree about devcontainers. Now you are pushing everyone in the team to use vscode which is bad on its own. I think docker is fine, but I mostly try to stay away from any project that even mentions vscode (an editor should not be part of any project IMO).

I don't get this. If a project has a devcontainer configuration, you don't have to use it - it's just there if you want to use it. Also the devcontainer format considers vscode an extension, it's not mandatory - it's just that vscode is about the only thing to fully support devcontainers, so it's the natural choice (for now).

It really depends on the audience. I find having an opinionated, but very easy to get started with setup (like vscode + devcontainers) really handy for juniors, or folks that rarely contribute (they might not if setup is painful). The more senior devs or those with strong opinions can use still use whatever they want.
