Especially around testing.

And even more confusing can be the issue where it's not exactly vagrant vs. 
chef-zero, but maybe vagrant+chef-solo vs. vagrant+chef-zero, or ChefSpec on 
one platform vs. ChefSpec on another platform, or whatever.

Right now, there's a lot of work you have to do on your own to figure out 
what will work best in what circumstances -- and you may discover that will 
change over relatively short periods of time as the tools continue to evolve.
