> It means you have the full control and flexibility to define how your environment looks like instead of being forced to have one repo per environment. This flexibility enables the exact same experience as the one you have in your laptop from development and env management perspective.

One thing I love about Gitpod is that everyone gets the same exact environment when they start Gitpod from a repo/PR. It seems like letting every developer customize their cloud machine like they customize their local machine would lead to many of the "but it works on my machine" problems?

haha I want to be clear. I meant you can define your environment however you like in terms of flexibility. You can have 27 different repos with 2 k8s clusters with other integrations you like in an environment.

Nimbus can achieve exactly the same. You can define an environment template and all workspaces your team create from that template will have exactly the same environment.

In short, a team can enforce consistent environment with Nimbus easily.
