One thing that makes every open-source application/library better is an easy development environment.
Through the use of official VS Code plugins it is possible to use containers as a local development platform hosting build tools and the code itself. This means that the only tools that need to be installed on a development machine are:
Visual Studio Code
VS Code - Remote Containers Extension
Docker runtime
Example
I have a very simple example of a .devcontainer in one of my repositories here.
