Mitch,
I'm not a big fan of Docker myself it's just too devop-y and agile but
for many reasons I was "forced" into using at the beginning of the year
so I decided to Docker all the things and so far it's proved more of a
help than a hindrance and my dev & test computers have never been so
organized and tidy even with 3 versions of my android dev setup, 5
versions of Python, 6 versions of GnuCOBOL & numerous snippits of bash

Russell,
I am a big fan of virtualization. Just not Docker. That seems to be
a trainwreck due to all the dependency issues.
I should have been more clear.

I wouldn't go as far as to say it's for server side apps only as
it's used to sandbox development/production environments
particularly programs written in Go and for running many different
versions of an app at once, allowing upgrades of individual apps
without effecting the rest of the system and actually oodles of
things.
OK running an emulator inside a container probably isn't it's best
use but as it's light weight the speed decrease is minimal in fact
I can't even see any slowdown at all running at max cpu and it
means I can plonk VirtualT on a computer (now my container is
built) in about 2 minutes, 1m30s of that being the file transfer time

Docker is a "container " meaning really lightweight virtual
machine. Dockerizing is when you get an application to run in a
docker container without major issues.
It is not good for anything other than server side apps. I would
not recommend it for a GUI app.
