It is. The issue is all the weird constraints that usually come up with it. Like I want to use my favorite code editor, I want easy copy and paste, or I can’t bother setting up a separate user account on my computer.
On unix, you can easily create a new user account, switch to it (or ssh or setup vnc), and run the tool there. If users are enough for servers on the internet, they can be for your workstation (unless there’s something like copyfail, but you can make do with a vm then).
