My problem is that its either Docker or Vmware Workstation - i kind of need both and I don't want to have to reboot everytime. But it looks interesting.
Depends on what you're doing with VMware Workstation, but agreed, if you're doing advanced stuff in VMware, hyperv doesn't replace it... though, for many use cases Hyper-v is decent...
Also, I think it's misleading to say no VM is needed, it's just more transparent now.
For a while, we had part of our servers running on Hyper-V (on Windows Server 2012). I could not complain, really, except that a Debian VM at the time was randomly loosing its network connection, like somebody was pulling out the virtual network cable. I could imagine this got better with Debian 8, though. (CentOS 6 had no such problem.)

Well, you could use HyperV for VMs instead - I have never done it, but its not that bad apparently

VmWare has niche features very important for some users: USB pass-through, and accelerated 3D graphics.
Servers usually need neither of them, though.
