Well you see if they acknowledged nix then they wouldn't be able to claim to be the first.

Haha, spicy. We definitely don't want to overlook nix. It's a great tool. We do mean something different with "developer environment" in that context of this quoted sentence. I'm not sure if nix will help you much if you want to connect your VS Code to a remote VM or container to work inside of that environment. We'll work on rewording this though to make things clearer :)

"Containerised" would be less ambiguous, I think.

I'm sure you can find a narrow enough definition; I believe in you.
