I've seen many cases where the build/test phase would be executed inside 
a container. The build might yield an executable or an image for runtime 
container.

But I've never seen the case where the development itself ("launch your 
IDE in a container") would take place in a container. Can people confirm 
that this is an established practice? Docker containers generally don't 
have display ports...

Docker is supported on Windows 10 and MacOS.
