Mac Docker brings its own set of issues. For me it's been a constant battle to deal with Mac For Docker for filesystem performance. Especially everything in JSLand. Loads of file checking, Docker's out of the box file system stuff for Mac has been very rough despite two attempts at resolving it, and just generally awful performance issues.

In theory stuff that is solvable, but it's not like on Linux (which is, after all, just the cgroups + chroot dance). The Mac stuff is painful and slow. And the ways to make some of it fast involve really bad tradeoffs at the other end.

I'm convinced that Docker setups on Mac have cut down on dev hours world wide by at least 10% from this kind of stuff, even with all the wins you get (at least in theory). It's still a bit shocking to me that we haven't figured out a better way to deal with this problem for web development given so many people are on Macs
