Wasn't the main selling point of docker "no more VMs"?

That's true on Linux, where the container shares the host's kernel. On Windows, they need to create a Linux VM and run the Docker daemon inside it.

IMHO doing development work on any long lived environment (especially if also used for personal internet browsing) is a mistake. Embracing disposable VMs for everything has saved me so much time and headache - just scrap it and start anew. Then my personal compute space remains very simple and debris free.

Yes, but wasn't the main selling point of Docker "no more VMs"? It solves the same issues, without the drawbacks of running virtual machines.

This is for macs where no container api exists to this day
