VirtualBox shared folders are really really terrible.

With VMware Workstation that feature is super fast. The product has a much better experience overall.

Unfortunately, I didn't have much luck with Vagrant's VMware plugin (paid) and couldn't realistic make the switch.

It seems using each OS's native virtualization (Hyper-V, xhyve, KVM) is the way to go, but that means we have to maintain separate vagrant boxes, which we don't have to with VMware/VirtualBox since they work on Linux/OSX/Windows.
