I'm biased (I'm a contributor!) but I think Vagrant has changed, and will continue to change, how (server|web|operations) development and developer education happen.

I honestly don't know what I would do without it, and I'm grateful for the chance I've had to work on it. Thanks Mitch for all your hard work!

Hi! Just so you know I'll be responding to any comments here on HN. I've worked on Vagrant for over 2 years and even originally announced it on HN (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1175901). Over the 2 years of the existence of the project, popularity has steadily rose, features were flushed out, and stability soon followed. With the 1.0 release I'm happy to announce a handful of the many companies who use Vagrant every day as well as present the world with a stable product.

Thanks!

Two things.

First, let your designers know that the website is awesome and I would steal the theme in an instant if I had a similar site to build. Did I say steal? I meant hire / license! An open, attributive license would be nice.

Second, you need to mention veewee on the first page, or you rapidly lose anyone who isn't using lucid32. Anyone who uses mongodb for instance.

I use vagrant all day, every day. It solves a huge number of the problems that I have with using VMs to manage development environments. My main complaints are 1) 4gb limit on macbook air's (mitch, you should fix this ;) ) and 2) sometimes i find that the vm gets in a state where the filesystem becomes "Read only" and the only fix is to vagrant destroy and vagrant up. Thankfully, vagrant up is all automated so it just means an extra coffee break, but I'd rather avoid this if I could. Sadly, I think this may be more of a virtualbox issue than a vagrant issue so I don't want to besmirch the work of Mitch, et al. I would not want to develop most apps without vagrant!

First, the designer is Adam Debreczeni (twitter.com/heyadam). He did an amazing job, and he did all of it in 6 hours. :)

And VeeWee will be mentioned soon enough. Big things are happening with Vagrant/VeeWee in the near future.

We are using it since 0.3 and am really impressed on how well it worked. I especially enjoyed how well your beta versioning worked: it broke every 0.1, but only in small increments, so keeping up was simple.
