Would you mind sharing that work-flow? I'm interested in how this is done, since i have failed to do it on several occasions.

I have failed to adopt it as well, and am still using Vagrant, but as my desktop is Linux, vagrant is a little bit of overkill.
The primary stopper for me is run vs start I think - and persistence of the most recent change I made in an environment.

`run` creates a container from an image and tries to start it. If it doesn't start you have a stopped container in `docker ps -a`. If it does start, you have a started container in `docker ps`. You could stop a started container if you wanted, and later start it again without having to use `run` all over again.
Sometimes running fails to start the container because there's a problem. You'll then have a stopped container.
