My apps themselves comes with all of their dependencies so I don't have to screw around with dependencies on a host provider. Sure, it doesn't completely solve dependency problems (you still need to write a Dockerfile) but it makes my life a whole lot easier compared to without Docker.
A problem I frequently run into is that while package/linking dependencies are usually fixed by Docker, I still have issues due to system dependencies. I can't just docker run grafana, I have to install Grafana, Graphite and from memory StatsD or something too. Dependency hell is still a thing, it's just moved up to a higher level now.
