So what's the difference between this and using my current setup; cmder & vagrant?
If I get Windows Bash do I still need things like visual studio to compile node-gyp stuff?

Then you can easily work on node projects by going into your project folder with windows bash. Then run "docker run -it -d --name nodejs -p 3000:3000 -v $PWD:/workdir -w /workdir node:latest bash"
This will launch a nodejs container a drop you into a tty inside the container. Then you can edit your files from windows and do npm install.. npm run... etc fro inside the container. localhost:3000 will have your app
