I mean it depends on people's needs also. If you want to do a simple hello world to try things out, the classic setup can be enough. But in my experience, if you want to have a common setup between multiple people, eventually have a CI/CD pipeline, a production environment, and debugging working out of the box, a Docker setup might be a better choice. Plus, if you're on a Linux/Mac environment, the only prerequisites one would need would be to install docker, docker-compose, and make. That's it. You do make run && make install, and everything is set up. Seems quite simple to me and the advantage of having a reproducible environment is quite big I would say, especially when you are a beginner and you might need some assistance here and there.
