One thing that is regrettable about K8s winning the orchestration wars so remarkably, is that it pretty much killed all other solutions. Swarm is dead, Nomad doesn't seem like it has much community support and Mesos
feels like it's on life support. Mesos still has a lot of people working on it however, but the perception feels different.
Personally I've found Mesos much easier to manage, secure, and operate than k8s. However, when it first came out all the cool kids were using it, then most of them jumped ship to k8s. AirBnB's Chronos is now pretty much a dead project, Mesosphere's Marathon is now gimped (no UI) and major features moved into DCOS. At the same time, Mesosphere (now D2iQ?), now seems like it's more focused on k8s.
k8s is everything plus the kitchen sink, and managed k8s isn't the killer feature I thought it would be. I don't blame people for not jumping on the k8s bandwagon at all.
