I haven't used GDK in months honestly because I was trying to use GitPod and had had no luck with getting GDK up in my attempt. Prior to that, I wouldn't say it was very often. It depending on the number of MRs I was working on at once as to the amount of trouble I'd run into. It's been several months since I've really been unable to get it going without both myself and typically someone from the GDK team getting heavily involved in fixes. Prior to that I'd say maybe every other month or so?

this has been exactly the same for me. After multiple attempts in last few months my GDK is still in a bad shape. I mostly use Gitpod now but getting the GDK working locally would be so much more convenient.
This issue is to investigate further what is happening and what errors they are seeing.
