I think they're doing just fine. https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/docker/funding-rounds https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/docker/funding-round...
> how self entitled the community around these projects are.
As a member of the "self entitled" community, I see a lot of ignorance in this comment. The developers of Docker are not just the >100 employees of Docker Inc, but also the over 1,000 members community who have contributed to the Docker project.
Frustration with Docker isn't about entitlement, it is about frustration with a governing body run by a for-profit company with $180 million of funding who has shown a pattern of favoring shiny new features over stability and left their own community to clean up the mess of bugs left in their wake.
So no, I don't think the community is self-entitled, I think the community just wants to see the project they've worked so hard to help build be competently maintained.
