Although I'm not sure I would use this, this is the kind of stuff I've been waiting for. Where nice clean containers are used as part of an active dev cycle rather than just the production push.

The ultimate dream of the end user using a desktop comprising only of containers seems to be still a bit far off yet...

About a year ago I switched our dev environments from Vagrant to docker-compose environments with a "helper" shell script to run the most common docker-compose operations you'd do in a day. It starts up so much faster than Vagrant, it's easy to add new services, and it's easy to add and remove test data. Here's an example of the kind of setup I have:

What's funny is I don't currently use docker in production, but I love it for dev environments.
