I think this is an overlooked but really important point. Containers are not just about the deployment enjoyment. You don't need to install MySQL/MongoDB/Tomcat/nginx/etc locally anymore to do work, just spin up a container.

Want to try that new CMS? Spin up a container. When you're done your machine isn't polluted with a bunch of files, environment variables, or modified path. Every dev should know how to do this.
