Well, this thing is irritating - true, but I don’t think that it makes Docker for Mac useless.
Actually I use docker-compose + docker-sync in a project where other team members are Linux users and it’s not that bad.
I even wrote an article about how some things may be tweeked (thanks to this thread and few more on github) http://espeo.eu/blog/docker-for-mac-performance-tweaks/
If You can live with few small quirks then Docker for Mac is pretty usable… for eg Java guys in my company are happy with 1.13
