So you are using docker to provide a "virtualized" programming environment
which is easily used on multiple host systems.   Given how difficult such
environments can be to set up, that sounds like a good idea.   Do you also
use/require docker for deployment of the software that you are developing?
If not, I would think you would need to be able to set up compatible
environments
for compilation/testing/deployment anyway.
