Dev Containers: Open, Develop, Repeat...
9 projects | dev.to | 30 Oct 2023

As you can see from the customizations section, Dev Containers are IDE agnostic. For example, there is a project implementing Dev Container support into nvim. But since the Visual Studio Code (vscode) team at Microsoft invented Dev Containers, it is currently the IDE with the best Dev Container experience.
DevContainers - Vscode Alternative

Is there any extension that fullty supports the dev.json spec? I tried this : https://github.com/esensar/nvim-dev-container But it looks like it doesn`t add any of the features I set on the dev.json. I also cant seem to make the :terminal command attach to the container - it does work on VsCode :z.

Neovim and devcontainers
3 projects | /r/neovim | 31 Jan 2023

How do you achieve the devcontainer experience without any VS Code? I am aware of plugins like https://github.com/jamestthompson3/nvim-remote-containers and https://github.com/esensar/nvim-dev-container however I didn't figure them out and they don't seem very active.
