Of course the face that Kitematic was a tiny team means that this was a deal that saw Docker get some talent, another useful addition to the Docker stable and some more developer love, all for what is likely a very small pricetag. Tools that let them develop within their existing workflow, but which also let them seamlessly move applications into production, are a big productivity boost.

We're seeing the rise in power of developers. While that might seem like a bizarre announcement from a company that is aiming to fulfill the need for enterprises running huge web-scale applications, it actually make sense.
