getting rid of Virtualbox entirely with their own VM... Not really. This builds heavily upon Hypervisor.framework, which is included in new OS X versions. Hypervisor.framework is pretty cool, because it allows for building VM applications that are sandboxed and don't require kernel modules. As a result, Hypervisor.framework applications can even be distributed via the App Store (see e.g. Veertu).

I wonder if Vagrant intends to provide a Hypervisor.framework-based Linux backend. That would be cool. Edit: Experimental plugin: https://github.com/oldpatricka/vagrant-xhyve https://github.com/oldpatricka/vagrant-xhyve.

The drawback is that now VM manager is at mercy of what Hypervisor.framework provides. For example, Veertu does not support redirection of USB devices into VM because the framework does not support it. That makes it rather useless for my usage and I stick with VirtualBox for now. Of cause, this is not an issue for Docker as the framework covers all its needs.
