For research apps docker would be a godsend. Resea ch software is of the "install exactly this version of x,y,z,r,g and h" and then apply these patches....

Docker is really good for dev environments. I've had a relatively painless time dockerizing snapshots of old internal web apps so I can hack on them without installing things into my main desktop environment. It lets me have lots of server things side by side.
