Dev containers are amazing, even just for solo projects. They make maintenance a breeze, and don't pollute your coding rig with unneeded packages, or venv created by package managers.

EDIT: Here's a very simple VSCode dev container that I've spun up for a python project, if anyone wants another example of what they can look like:

I prefer devbox and devenv. No need for containers, no mucking around with Dockerfiles, no editor/IDE specific stuff, a large repository of packages, and most importantly no control by microsoft.
