Once you have a running Linux Kernel. I don't use a Linux host OS, so I would still have a delay starting a VM to run Linux, and running a Hypervisor to run containers for a dev environment is too many levels of abstraction for my liking.

Is Docker quicker? Sure. Does that make Vagrant slow? No. Slower does not mean slow.

I prefer things I actually have control over rather than just "quick and easy".

Whatever makes you happy. If you are happy with vagrant stick to it, nobody is forcing you to use something better.
