Description

Given VS Code's and GitHub's dominance in the developer world, VS Code's devcontainer.json format is going to become a quasi-standard eventually. Supporting it will allow us to lower the entry barrier for teams who already use it so they can easily spin up their dev environments in Gitpod and experience the speed (startup time, prebuilds) and efficiency (lower cost) of our product.
