I decided to reject Citrix or Remote Desktop dev contracts on matters of principle, because you never know what irrational workflow they're coming up with next. If your customer/employer values their control-freakery higher than dev efficiency or sanity, I'm out. Recently, I had a contract where they used Citrix to work on a stupid Windows VM, only to execute Docker containers, winbash build scripts, and git (plus cross-platform IDE). Madness! A friend of mine even has to endure web dev via Citrix. Have fun doing CSS transitions on Edge in a VM in a browser tab. Or attempt to get Teams meeting invites from Outlook-in-VM out to your native or web Teams client on your local machine (as required, you know, for audio/mic). It's terrifyingly stupid.
