I do use it as a development tool. I find it very convenient to always
have a bunch of libvirt-managed LXC containers, some running hostapd
instances with various access point configurations and some used for
NetworkManager development and a mac80211_hwsim radio in each of them.

An unfortunate side-effect is that my dmesg becomes next to useless due
to the overwhelming amount of mac80211_hwsim logging.
