From personal experience, I use docker-compose to create most development environments today. The main reason for this is that maintaining a vagrant (base) box is cumbersome, while maintaining a Dockerfile and/or a docker-compose file is not. However, there are still cases that I think Vagrant is far superior. I recently had a security-related use-case that wanted me to very precisely replicate a common production environement (LAMP w/ exim4 MTA). On docker this is complicated. On Vagrant it's very simple. So I don't think it's dead or dated, even though Docker has replaced it for a large range of my own use cases.
