Docker and Vagrant are two very different tools.

  Are they? Very different? Not really.

    I'm pretty fustrated reading comments like these because there are use-cases where these tools are pretty much the same and use-cases where these tools are wildly different and you guys are going back and forth arguing semantics that are totally meaningless without the context or use case.

      I think the parent's point is that for the majority of web development use cases (which I'd wager was a large percentage of the Vagrant user base) Docker has eliminated the need for Vagrant. Agreed, though that there are times when you need to simulate software running on a particular machine and for that Vagrant is still useful.

      Of course there are use-cases for these tools where they can be applied to wildly different requirements but in essence they're not "very different tools", they're very similar in more ways than not.
