Multiple dev environments, dev env resets, using something other than vbox are a few for local. It's also nice to just load you cloud provider keys and not have to mess with maintaining images, etc. That's what I use it for. Machine also assists with setting up TLS (machine only creates TLS secured instances at the moment). One more thing, Machine has experimental support for creating TLS secured Swarm clusters. This makes it nice to test out Swarm somewhere besides locally.
