Ask HN: Are you really using Docker, or just talking about it?

1 pointecaron0 comments

The recent onslaught of Docker topics (https://hn.algolia.com/?q=docker#!/story/past_week/0/docker) has been fantastic to read, as a Linux user. But:

* I know a large percentage of the HN-reading devs are Mac users

* On Linux, there's almost no performance different of interacting with Docker

* On Mac, even with the newest boot2docker, the performance is a heck of a long way from "I didn't notice I wasn't on the bare metal"

So is all the conversation about Docker just the Linux people, or are there actually HN Mac users that don't mind the awful performance?

I know this question could posted on Superuser/StackOverflow/etc, but I care more about the real coders than people going for points.
