A former colleague of mine used to rail on Docker for MacOS a few years ago. He always complained about it being super slow to sync with the local file system.

I never had any issues but was running everything on Linux. Since then I've moved companies and now I'm running docker on a Mac. Haven't noticed any eggregious performance issues, but as I understand under the hood it's still basically running in a VM.
