I've never used Docker, or containers, but I read about things like "Breaking changes and regressions ... a well documented problem with Docker" and "Can’t clean old images ... a well known issue" and it just seems to me like a crazy thing to try to use and depend on this thing/company. Bluntly put they seem like children.
So nevermind a retort, what I would like to see is a sane, sensible "business value" cost/benefit, pros v. cons breakdown of just what the heck you're actually gaining (and losing) using Docker vs. some other architecture/methodology. Because absent that it's all just hype and kool-aid drinking in my opinion.
What would help with the above is if people would document what they are doing with Docker that works, because either they are hurting but not realizing it, or the author of the article is just "doing it worng" and whining about it in public. What is really going on with Docker, et. al.!?
