I wouldn't describe tug as less powerful, it's less complicated from my usage of it. For each service I only need to write one line and tug will figure out (from the Dockerfile) what needs to be forwarded.

The mind blowing moment is when you're using boot2docker (or any case where Docker isn't local) and it still forwards the ports to your local (127.0.0.1) host.

That's easily achieved with a Vagrantfile for your Docker VM...

I wouldn't say it's that easy, if you add more containers to your Docker VM and need them forwarded you then need to update your Vagrantfile and reload.

With tug any port you expose on the containers is brought locally to you instantly.
