The only truly compelling case I've seen for Docker is Amazon's ECS, which takes a cluster of EC2 machines and will automatically distribute containers among them where ever there is capacity, according to declared resource needs of a given container. The ability to waste less of your EC2 resources is a very clear business win.
Everything else is still nice, but it's basically "dev environments suck less".
