I do find containers to be good although I'll admit I'm biased - I have several hundred thousand apps in production in containers, running in an efficient and scalable way that would not have been possible using prior technology. My experience is that using containers effectivelly requires a substantial rethink of the infrastructure and how the teams using it work. The payoff though is a step change in productivity. Over time, I believe that companies which embrace the change will deliver more quickly than those who do not. They will get products to market in a shorter timespan and generally be nicer places to work. Will that mean the death of other ways of doing infrastructure? No probably not. After all, there are still mainframes and cobol programmers out there.
