title: Why is it better to use Vagrant instead of sharing the VM's Disk itself?
body: <p>I was searching for the best way to distribute a development environment to my team and found Vagrant.
  After some reading and testing, here is what I can say about it</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p><strong>Pro:</strong>
  Automates the process of creating a new VirtualBox VM (for a new user).</p>
  <p><strong>Con:</strong>
  Nullifies the only pro I found by requiring the new user to learn a new tool.</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>The learning curve is way more time expensive than actually copying the VDI and configuring a new VirtualBox VM tu use it.
  (It is not that great as well, but is still higher than learning a new tool.)</p>
  <p>I definitely didn't understand why using Vagrant makes the process of distributing a development environment so different than just creating a normal VirtualBox VM and sharing the disk.</p>
  <p>Maybe I'm missing a point here, can anyone enlight me?</p>
