Not sure how useful OS X containers would be. Are you deploying on OS X?

The benefit for me would be quick, isolated development environments. I want to boot a contained swarm of services connected to each other in a single command, and shut them down in a single command as well

And installing docker / docker-compose / machine, etc. using one brew command would be a great addition in order to ease introduction of the tool to the whole team.

    brew install docker docker-compose docker-machine
    open https://kitematic.com/download/

Kitematic might even come with docker, docker-machine. It will then set up a docker machine for you and you're ready to go.

Yes, Kitematic does install docker-machine automatically which also sets up docker.

For CLI, in Kitematic menu there is a button where you can install the binaries.

Will it also install and configure VirtualBox and boot2docker?

Thanks, thats great :)

Are you aware that your OS X machine is, itself, a deployment target for developers somewhere? All environments benefit from enforceable loose coupling.

I develop containers on OS X. I just spin up a linux box in vmware running a docker server listening on TCP.

From my development experience, there's no difference from working directly on a linux box.
