It's very handy for development instances of your apps/services too. Often nicer/faster than using Vagrant if that's your bag.

Something I plugged together recently - a W3C HTML5 validator instance in a Docker container: https://github.com/magnetikonline/dockerhtml5validator proving to be really useful vs. my old method of spinning this all up in a VirtualBox instance.

That makes sense. It appears Docker is in fact especially useful for OSX because it can replace a VM with something more svelte and seamless.
