Mitchell,
It may not have been obvious in the original question but, believe me, I wholly appreciate the work that has gone into Vagrant and it truly is a great piece of software that we have happily supported over the years (with the Fusion plugin).
I believe that some of the challenges are not necessarily with Vagrant, but the combination of distros, build tools (Chef / Ansible -- we're still with Chef) various cookbooks / versions vs. roll your own and, perhaps most important, supporting Fusion/Parallels and Virtualbox with all of their idiosyncrasies. Add to that the introduction of "new" technologies such as containers etc.
The question was not in any intended as a slight against Vagrant, but more of a question of how people are handling their development environments today and if Vagrant is still a big part of their processes or not.
We still love Vagrant and it's promise as well as other Hashicorp products (we use Terraform and are in the process of switching to Vault) so we believe in the tools. Just had a rough 6 months or so of supporting Vagrant in our development processes (for some reason -- could be us!) and thought I'd ask the community.
