In reply to Hector Asencio.

Actually, as I mentioned in my replies to Helen that are other options that could also be explored, like GitPod, to provide flexibility. In the end I don’t see how making the availability of using these products easily with WordPress harms anyone, as it actually makes it easier for people to get involved, and less frustrating if things will just work out of the box. And to be clear the goal is not to abandon all traditional forms of contributing, it’s about providing choice and reducing the friction of contributing. Many have chimed in and indicated how on contributor days at WordCamps many waste half of their day just trying to get a working environment setup to contribute. Simplifying and reducing that complexity is the right goal.
