I'm a big fan of using Docker because for real world web app development, your app is often more than just getting Python and a virtualenv set up.

Earlier this week I wrote about the pains of setting up a Python development experience without Docker, and then compared it to Docker as well.

If anyone is curious, that's located at https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/setting-up-a-python-developme....

By the way, I would say Docker is anything but slow. I get near instant development feedback on my Flask applications, even when running things through Docker for Windows / WSL.

These are pretty big Flask apps too, which have thousands of lines of code, dozens of packages, tons of assets and require running Celery, Postgres, Redis, etc..
