+
+Yesterday, I read [a post by Kevin Quillen][post] titled 'DDEV being considered as the "official" Drupal development environment'.
+
+I've been a DDEV user, and I've also used most, if not all, of the other popular Drupal development environments.
+
+These days, I use [my own Docker Compose-based setup][mine], but I feel having an official development environment would be an excellent move for the Drupal community and project - and for new Drupal users, evaluators and contributors in particular.
+
+Anything that lowers the barrier to using or contributing to Drupal is a good thing and allows for more focused documentation and a simpler onboarding experience, similar to what other projects have - such as Laravel with Homestead, Valet and now, Sail.
+
+## Collaboration is key
+
+Instead of multiple similar projects creating the same features and fixing the same issues, there could be an opportunity to collaborate or even combine projects and resources in the future.
+
+## But what about existing teams and projects?
+
+If your company or team already uses another option, you can continue to use it.
+
+If you have an existing solution, I don't think it will be removed or abandoned in the near future.
+
+But, for new Drupal users and teams, one official development environment would be a big plus.
