I really like the idea of a VM on mac OS too, but recently I've been experiencing nothing but trouble... I use to develop on a Ubuntu machine and having everything running natively, then I started to work from a co-working space, so I setup my Mac with Vagrant, Virtualbox, Ansible (for provision), to run my Django app, and after that I noticed that all my browser calls to the local development server were taking between 1 ~ 5 seconds (with tons of involuntary context switches in the debug toolbar), when they take 300 ms on my Ubuntu machine... I've heard that last Mac os has trouble with DNS, maybe that's what it is but I don't really know what to do. So as much as I like how clean it is to build a VM and separate it from the rest of your system, the overhead and the network latency is too much for me, I'll stick to installing everything with brew and virtualenv locally.

Search "Mac fix DNS" and you'll find what to do.
