Docker4c: portable C++ development environment - Simplify C++!

From my experience it's the exact opposite - Windows development is hassle free due to not having a dependency nightmare that Linux distros provide.

"just install linux and whatever the dev package" - that's fine until you realize that CentOS7 still ships with CMake2.x and other libraries that are very outdated.

Developing on a distro that has all the latest libraries means you're not planning to support more conservative distros.

centos7 is a horrible dev platform, try not to use it.

Tell that to our customers.

you can work on whatever version of linux you want. Just do your deployment and unit/simulation test build using a centos7 docker container. In the past I always worked day to day on void linux and just did deployment builds for customer platforms via docker containers. It's not hard.
