Isn't this( http://docs.docker.com/installation/mac/) the easiest way to use docker on a mac? Its just 3 shell commands and an installer.

I am not clear what kitematic is exactly. A UI on top of docker?

Pretty much just a GUI in our beta. We do some things special like:

- Automatically creates a folder under ~/Kitematic for each Volume.

- One click NSEnter into any container.

- Any container can be accessed at <container_name>.dev (automatically sets up a DNS for you, so you can connect a database too using that URL).

We're really just trying to make Docker easier to use for Mac right now. More will come.

Does your `.dev` container access conflict with users of pow.cx? Is that configurable?
Not sure yet. Still doing tests around it. [The goal of this beta release is to find most of the bugs so we can iron it out]. I'm sure we'll iron out most of them in the coming week.
for me, it does. is there a solution right now? it does not seem to be configurable, or I just cant see it
Hadn't seen the DNS feature yet, that is amazingly useful! Thank you for that.
The tagline does seem to be marketing jargon, good for them. I'm seasoned with the docker CLI and I still think this is awesome, a UI on top of docker. Mostly it means that I can convince my teammates (who, for example, heavily use GitHub for Mac) to dive into docker without whining.
