I think it's a positive move and it would definitely add to the attractiveness of the project. The ability to spin up a container and have it instantly work is very gratifying and allows you to get right to business.
The only issue I can think of is that devs using Windows might have a tougher time setting up and using Docker than devs on OSX and Linux. Mainly because Docker requires a bit more living in the command prompt than they might be used to.
So long as you have instructions on how to spin up the container on all three platforms you should be fine.

I'm really happy to here your mirror my thoughts. As a newb I question what I know or don't know and it worries me that I'm leaping in the wrong direction. Super appreciate your feedback especially about Windows users. I'm constantly amazed by how they struggle and their tooling. I'll be sure to work closely with someone on a Windows machine to make sure I understand their platform issues well enough to write good initial documentation and then some of our stronger users will no doubt add bits and pieces of feedback.
