Best practice for setting up M2 development environment?

[kakashithed272]

What's considered best practice for setting up a Magento 2 development environment?

I maintain a couple of plugins for M2 and want a quick and easy way to spin up an environment with the latest version.

Things I've tried:

- Installing on local machine. Painfully slow.
- Installing on an EC2 instance. Hit or miss.
- Bitnami installer. Can't get it to work on my main machine.
- Bitnami docker image. Possibly a good option but I'd need to invest some time to learn docker.

This is a massive timesuck for me so I'm curious to hear what actual Magento devs do.
