We shall see. VS doesn't support devcontainers and never will (it can't). Aspire "supports" devcontainers but doesn't actually work in a devcontainer in practice. Using a devcontainer as designed is unusable in a Windows (or Mac) environment for any real work. The official MS "fix"?... clone the repo again inside the devcontainer. 🤦♂️
GitHub Copilot extension in VS is way behind the VSCode extension. Copilot code completions is useless in both. Use the CLI agent tooling instead? Sure, but now forget about VS or DevKit because they don't like files edited outside their purview and crash.
So none of the dev tooling they currently have actually work together now. Why would wslc be any different?
Don't get me wrong, I love the premise and it would be a huge benefit for us at work if MS actually creates a cohesive ecosystem.
It would not surprise me if it took their tooling a long time to catch up if at all. They are doing a lot of cool innovative things at a fast pace, but disjointedly with the left hand not talking to the right.
I don't need a pink theme or a kitten walking across my screen in Visual Studio or a GUI on top of OpenClaw. I need my dev tools to work without all the friction. Each of their tools solves a real pain point in a dev workflow, but together, make the workflow more painful. I've had to scrap most of it be productive.
