Docker for Mac was using xhyve. I notice their docs now talk about HyperKit

Yeah, HyperKit is the latest. We need to keep an eye on this. AFAIU from Dockers
side HyperKit is the future. So I guess they are not so interested in libmachine
anymore.
I wonder if thats better/different to xhyve?
Not quite sure what HyperKit uses under the hood. One would think it builds on
somehow on xhyve. I cannot imagine that they build a complete hypervisor.
This post looks useful

"HyperKit is based around a lightweight approach to virtualization that is
possible
due to the Hypervisor framework being supplied with MacOS X 10.10 onwards. [...]
HyperKit is built on the xHyve and bHyve projects, with additional
functionality to
make it easier to interface with other components such as the VPNKit or
DataKit. Since
HyperKit is broadly structured as a library, linking it against unikernel
libraries
is straightforward."
