I use vim with docker compose all the time: Set up the compose file to bind-mount the repo inside the container, so you can edit files freely outside it, and add a convenience "make shell" that gets you inside the container for running commands (basically just "docker compose exec foo bash").

It sounds like if you make devcontainers point at an existing Dockerfile it should be easy to make these work together, so you and teammates both use the same configuration. I haven't used devcontainers though.

I personally just use Vim directly in a dedicated development VM that I SSH into. I can always spin up a new one if something goes astray

haven't tried it but amitds1997/remote-nvim.nvim

I need something like that though that's one of the thing that pains me the most while trying to use vim/nvim for dev
