Docker can be a pain sometimes (especially docker for mac!), but in moderately complex apps, it's so nice to be able to just fire up 6 services (even some smaller apps have redis, memcached, pg/mysql, etc) and have a running dev environment.
If someone updates nodejs, just pull in the latest dockerfile. Someone updates to a new postgres version? Same thing. It's so much better than managing native dependencies.

heck, we use a pdf to latex container just to save us (some on linux, some on mac and windows) from thinking about what libraries they need to install on their machine or the servers.
