It is honestly incredible that such an important part of the Windows dev process is nearly unusable. It is easily the most fickle and opaque bit of software that I am required to depend upon.

Yep. I used to have a ton of problems with Docker in Windows.

It has been a year without problems since I enabled WSL2 engine for Docker.

Honestly they should make the WSL2 Docker engine mandatory because otherwise things barely work.

		Docker on Windows issues, back before WSL had matured enough, gave a pretty compelling argument for doing windows development on OSX inside a VM.

		at work, i opted for remote development workspace because of this problem. Windows & Docker ain't meant to be together :(

Windows is the problem, not Docker. Just try wsl2 and you’ll see…

		That's a very naive take. The issue is Docker Desktop, a buggy mess. I have plenty of well-functioning, complex Windows applications with detailed troubleshooting utilities.
