A bit of constructive criticism:

The "this changes everything" thing has become way, way, overplayed. I saw that and immediately rolled my eyes and stopped reading. It is about at the level of "code ninja" now.



Thanks, I agree that I'm tired of that. The Vagrant website is being redesigned at the moment, so that'll disappear shortly.


But, and take this as a compliment, Vagrant does change everything. I'm so happy with vagrant now I can really say I have the same OS as my server in my laptop, I can easily switch between them and distribute the env between my peers.


I agree, vagrant changes everything. At the moment, it is feasible for what we at work, yet. But I really want to use it more.


As an avid supporter of the project, shoot an email if you want a Web dev to build it out for you :).


You'd be surprised how many Enterprise companies are discovering Vagrant for the first time.

"You can have the same environment shared by everyone, and still look like Dev/QA/Production?" they ask.

It's amazing how far behind some companies are on the tech curve.


This isn't just a problem of a tech curve or conservatism but one of exposure and marketing. There are a lot of great tools and systems out there that are pretty in your face and obvious to use in certain niches yet.. you'll still run across good folks who are new to them. Always plenty of room to expand! (And that's a good thing ;-))
