I've been using Docker for my local environments at Vanilla since 2017. It was a good way to ensure consistent & reproducible developer environments and was a marked improvement over what we were running before. We setup a single repository with our shared environment (vanilla-docker) and it spread across the company like wildfire.

The consistency was great, especially as we onboarded various junior developers over the years. Unfortunately in 2018, Apple released MacOS High Sierra, sporting a new filesystem, APFS.
