> Has anyone tried VMWare fusion to run a Docker host VM?

If you're considering Fusion I'd suggest taking a look at AppCatalyst[1] instead (N.B. I work at VMware, but not on AppCatalyst).

Is there a good way to connect with the developers working on appcatalyst? It seems really promising but it also seems like there are fundamental parts of the developer workflow that are either not implemented yet or poorly documented. Having put up with the hassles of VirtualBox when using boot2docker, a free/low-cost VMWare option is a really great development, but it doesn't seem entirely usable yet and needs some of the layer that Boot2Docker gives you on top of VirtualBox before it will be possible to switch.

I'm part of the dev team that is responsible for appcatalyst, feel free to reach out: fabio at vmware dot com

looks great, but doesn't have a docker-machine driver yet

My branch is in working order, you can build and use it with appcatalyst: https://github.com/frapposelli/machine/tree/appcatalyst-driv...
