Vagrant with KVM/libvirt works great on Linux and doesn't stop you from using docker. VirtualBox is inconvenience on Linux, not Vagrant

Mostly, though the vagrant-libvirt provider is still a separate plugin, and hasn't reached 1.0 yet, probably due to several rough edges.

edit: I should also mention that vagrant-libvirt doesn't even work on Vagrant 2.0.0, due to https://github.com/vagrant-libvirt/vagrant-libvirt/issues/76...

The community is built on Vagrant-VB configs and images, so you don't really get the main benefit of Vagrant if you want to use it with something else than VirtualBox.

I disagree by saying that I don't think you really get the main benefit of Vagrant if you want to use it with other people's boxes.

Also, since the rise of virtio (thank goodness), you can easily make boxes that work on VB/VMware/KVM, and probably others too, and indeed, many boxes work like that.
