This would allow the user to use a devcontainer w/o ever having to install any dev tools locally.

We would need to suggest/depend on the devcontainer extension or provide instructions for the install

Ideally, the devcontainer files would be generated from ansible-creator preriodically or trggered so there was no manul upkeep of those files. (kept in the extension repo, but kept updated)

Logging this here for dicussion/thoughts

I think this is an excellent idea, and helps with onboarding and Day 2 activities in the ecosystem, where often times we help new users get tools installed locally, maybe with a venv, maybe with Poetry, on Windows with WSL, on Mac, maybe even deployed with scripting, and then they are essentially bound to that version, as they are unsure what they should update, or how to update it, as they were likely drinking from a firehose while getting the initial environment stood up.
