Sharing OpenGL contexts is about the opposite of sandboxing. It's unsafe.
And you can run OpenGL apps from your terminal just fine?

But it's a sandboxing that isn't useful on a Desktop machine. A mail app which sees a completely different container filesystem than my word processor does not improve my life.

Except it's not, because OS X on servers is dead and gone, so what I'd really need is a container that works on my server, aka a Linux server aka I need a VM locally because it's not like OS X is ever going to be LXC compatible.
A container I can only use on my dev box isn't worth beans.

I get that Docker has grabbed a lot of hype by reinventing jails to be venture capital compatible, but honestly, for OS X it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
