The touted "native" is not what it is all cracked up to be. Maybe windows is a plus that brings a few souls into the fold, but I've been looking for OSX performance ratings and only found some comments here and there that are like my experience.
At my El Capitano, the exact same setup in Docker Beta takes roughly ten times to do its thing than my more flexible vbox setup did. A java stack (Jenkins) starts in about 1.5 minutes, but with Docker Beta it takes 15 minutes or about!
So, my docker-machine setup lets me see my hosts with vbox, manage them with docker-machine, and get the NFS tweaked with docker-machine-nfs. boot2docker OS is nice and small and works.
So for me this is quite a contrast with the 'native' Alpine images based Beta. Which in my 5-hour stint with it did not show much way to overview or inspect it without getting new/more gear.
