I don't really see how this is more than a GUI that works with boot2docker and docker. Kitematic appears to be using boot2docker under the hood. I think using boot2docker is very simple. Once boot2docker is running, as far as I can tell, using docker is the same experience people have on linux.

1. Don't do that

2. Mount something via samba into the b2d vm, then -v it into your container

3. Use virtualbox directory sharing (which won't work properly/at all)
