mitchell I admire you, for number of commits you make on github. downloading it now :) there was some bad blood earlier where you complained about docker stability, they skipped vagrant and build boot2docker. now vagrant has many features which first came out on docker especially in vagrant cloud. edit: good to know it is not bad blood, my clarity has improved , curious why the down vote

Hi, Docker maintainer here. I'm not aware of any "bad blood", not everything has to be a war or a competition ;) Vagrant has been super useful to help us get a VM up and running with Docker pre-installed. But when boot2docker came along with a tiny (25MB!) single-purpose VM, 5 second boot time, way less moving parts and no ruby dependency - it just made sense to use that instead. It also helped reduce the confusion between Vagrant and Docker. We had a lot of people who after installing Docker were confused that now they had to learn this other tool called Vagrant, with a complicated ruby syntax etc. Taking Vagrant out of the equation helped with that too.

  I agree. There was definitely no bad blood! I was frustrated with dockers stability at one point and made my feelings public. Perhaps I shouldn't have but I also remember saying at the same time that docker is a fantastic idea :) so... not bad blood. Boot2docker has also been great for the ecosystem so it's all good.

boot2docker creator here. boot2docker wasn't made in response to mitchell's remarks. it was made because it could be made, and it was cool. If you want to learn more about the genesis, see this presentation[1].
