Is there an eli5 or similar on the differences between podman / docker / rancher / others?

Feels unexplained (at least for me), how do I know which to choose when and what are the trade offs?

I recently went deeper on Rancher Desktop and it’s use of containerd vs dockerd backends and it is totally not obvious what you lose if not using dockerd and how you might fill the gaps. Feels like because docker established the space and put a bunch of related components together (cli, image building, image storing and container running) and other projects make difference choices it can be quite confusing to compare them.
