It depends on what the environment is for. Your company work, or individual projects?
If you're an individual, then it would benefit someone who has multiple devices and/or multiple operating systems and doesn't want to manage their environment across all those devices and operating systems. For example, I personally have OSX, Windows, and several different Linux distributions on my laptop itself. My desktop also runs several operating systems.
Managing software across all of those is a pain. With Docker, I only have to manage the containers, and just have Docker installed on all the operating systems. Instead of managing like 50 different dependencies across 7 systems (think 7x50), I only have to manage Docker inside each system.
If you're working for a company, they will have their own dev environment. Instead of setting up and troubleshooting all their dependencies on your computer, you can just use their containers.
