It's not perfect... For example, I don't think there is an easy way to use Apptainer containers w/ VS Code. But it's there if you want to play with it.

I was only partially aware of it as I tend to use Colima more than Lima, but have started to move towards Lima more in general.

That said, I still stick to Docker-style containers personally as they are more widely supported (e.g. VS Code). However, I also work a lot in HPC, so migrating workflows cross-platform to Apptainer containers is a goal of mine.
