See also Simula, a Wayland-based VR Linux compositor: https://github.com/SimulaVR/Simula

It's very close to be able to be working with the HTC Vive. With this, you could put on a headset and see 50 terminals in front of you, next to your 50 web browsers :)

I thought that the primary constraint here was hardware, and specifically resolution?

Is it actually possible with current hardware to have a workable development environment... err... ... world?

Text resolution is the main issue; on current hardware, it's still not good enough to use for extended periods of time, but I think this is partially because nobody has bothered to optimize 3D text rendering to the extent that a viable 3D Desktop would require it.

Does working in VR sound appealing to you?

Heck yeah!

Not only because of feature-richness (a debugger that lets me climb up and down the execution stack sounds rad) but also for space-saving: I live in a school bus, so a 3-monitor standing desk isn't really a very viable option.

But if a VR or AR headset can turn a hallway into that, I'm in!

Off topic but where do you park?

This page has coords for many of the places we've parked over the course of the past year:

With current resolution, I don't think it's worth it. Probably in a generation or two.
