Cool story but at least try to give some argumentation when you say stuff like: >The design of the language in Dockerfile is ad hoc in a bad way. It’s difficult to understand, for me, and easy to make mistakes. Because that reads like a skill issue to me
1. I got hurt by Docker. 2. I don't want to learn Docker. 3. I got hurt by Docker more. 4. I don't trust DockerHub. 5. Podman is just like Docker. 6. I prefer VMs because I understand them, even though I know they are slower. 7. Don't try to explain Docker to me. A rant, nothing to see here, move along.
There is an 8...
8. Docker doesn't provide complete separation
And a 9...
9. Just use PaaS
> The command line interface is really badly designed. It’s ugly, hard to learn, difficult to remember, illogical, inconsistent, and just makes no sense to me at all. I wonder if the author could elaborate here.

I've used systemd-nspawn before. I didn't find it notably simpler and did find lots of weird edge cases where things didn't work (most recently something between ~249 and ~253 giving 'permission denied' errors on mounting /proc into new sub-namespaces within it, boy was that not a fun or easy time to try to work out). Maybe that makes their final point a fair one, that VMs avoid a lot of this without so many awkward subtleties.

The question is not if it's a skill issue or not, but if the complexity of the solution matches the complexity of the problem domain. And also: if there are easier and clearer ways to reach the same goals.

If your VM is slower, why are you emulating?! There is an 8... 8. Docker doesn't provide complete separation And a 9... 9. Just use PaaS
So I fully agree with TFA. It's a nuisance, but certain niche situations that are unavailable to most webstuff devs are exceptions.
