Someone should fork and maintain Vagrant with an MPL open source license:

It's a lot older but I would say Vagrant intersects with this space

Possibly devenv, as well.. Though I haven't personally tried it

I just checked their GitHub [0], and they seem to have a release on 27th July, 2021. Also it looks like they are re-writing vagrant 3.0 using go [1]

The repo has updates from just a few days ago, and IIRC, v2 just came out at the beginning of last month.

So I'd say no to "Is it dead?" Is it dated? Well I stopped using it once I found Docker (years ago), but can't say much for others. I'd be using it if I targeted other hosting platforms than Linux.
