In my experience the OSX tools for docker work absolutely fine. If you've got in a bad state, completely uninstall all existing docker-related stuff, `brew update` and `brew install docker-machine`.
The article sounds like a fun personal project, but I definitely don't see inconvenience on OSX being a justification.
If shell commands are too much to type then create aliases.
The VM's IP doesn't seem to change; add an entry in /etc/hosts mapping it to something like "docker-machine".
I don't understand the people in this thread complaining that OSX support is, e.g., "lackluster". The docker containers don't run on OSX so it's very nice that there's an OSX client that works perfectly as far as I can tell.
My experience is that the toolchain works fine but performance is lacking, especially when sharing many files between the OS X host and the Docker container.
