I'm glad Docker works so well for you as the premise is awesome. You're on a Mac right? It's just that you having a bespoke run.sh, and "mounting directories" makes me think Linux, where yes, Docker would be excellent for development.

However, assuming you are on Mac, I'm curious what kind of development you do? It seems hard these days to avoid stuff like `composer update` or `npm update` or to compile SASS or to bundle JS and as soon as you do any of those things, with Docker you start to get a syncing feeling. Sorry, shouldn't try to be funny this late in the day... :)

Oh also, when I run Docker for Mac I often get random 100% CPU usage for no reason at all, with no containers running, causing all my fans to spin up to full. I also periodically find I've run out of SSD space because docker has used it all up with qcows or something. And anytime I had to make a config change in one of my images I had to jump through flaming hoops to get it to take effect in the container. Not because of Docker per-se but because I wanted to write PHP or Javascript, not learn how to sysadmin Docker.
