Docker is not a general solution to this problem because it ties you intimately to Linux, whether directly, or through VMs, or compat layers.
Having all versions of you language and framework installed top level is a huge pain in the ass, since they inevitably will interfere with each other. Having separate containers with all necessary dependencies in it for each app is a lot more manageable.
I don't use docker with any of these projects. They're mostly legacy for us at this point and are shipping to EC2 instances directly.
Our more current projects do use Docker, however, and we're doing development along side of Docker in those instances and that seems to be working fine for us.
I do appreciate that a dev container would / may be a better approach to this for other reasons and especially, potentially, other languages and ecosystems, though.
