I recently switched to using both, docker running in a Vagrant VM.

I recently switched to using both, docker running in a Vagrant VM. I've had several frustrating issues with boot2docker on OSX, it's generally just been less stable for me than Vagrant. In terms of using docker, IMO it's the best development experience I've come across once you get everything set up. It can be confusing to get your workflow set up at first, and it seems like everyone does it a little differently, I'm hoping that best practices will standardize a bit as docker continues to mature. I love having every part of an app (app code, split into a few microservices if you wish, postgres, redis, rabbitmq, etc.) completely isolated, and docker-compose is a great system for linking things together. I also currently don't have any puppet/chef/etc code and love not having to maintain that, in my mind a large part of the need for configuration management tools is dealing with the complexity of diffing two arbitrary states of infrastructure, and with the immuatable approach of docker containers all that complexity disappears.
