I tend to agree, vagrant offers way better configuration possibilities and flexibility. However, there is one significant benefit: on macOS multipass uses hyperkit/xhyve to run the VM, which in my experience performs _much_ better than virtualbox ("docker for mac" also uses hyperkit). I'd love to see a vagrant hyperkit provider (or even a multipass provider! :-), but sadly have found nothing beyond a few alpha-level sketches so far.

This is true. Virtualbox is a pig pretty much everywhere. Veertu used to ship Veertu Desktop (using Hypervisor.framework, and able to ship via the App Store) and claimed to be supporting vagrant at some point, but then they changed approach completely and focus purely on virtualising macOS for CI build environments now. Personally I always use either VMware Fusion or Parallels with vagrant anyway (well unless I'm debugging some weird vagrant/vbox issue for someone else). It'd be nice to have an actively maintained provider that's backed by the built-in framework, but the only one I'm aware of stopped development 3+ years ago.
