I used to use `vagrant` for all local development. In the last couple of years I've moved to using `docker` and `docker-compose` instead.

Do you think there are still advantages to using `vagrant`?

Docker is great for application development, but if you need to experiment with the OS directly, especially for testing IoC like ansible or puppet, then Vagrant is still a better choice imo.
