Why I'm Betting on Kubernetes

  I don't see why I can't replace "K8" with "Mesos" everywhere in this article.

    Yes you can.

  > [The author] like[s] to describe Kubernetes as "A special kind of operating system for the cloud — One which allows developers to treat an arbitrary number of machines/hosts as if they were a single, very powerful machine." I don't agree with this comparison. Apps still have to be designed to run in a distributed environment. I'd describe it more like a flexible, self-contained PaaS.

Apps still have to be designed to run in a distributed environment. To be fair, in the author's analogy you also have to design applications to run in a multi-threaded environment (since they talk about scheduling and how an OS's main job is scheduling tasks so they can utilise resources). So the analogy holds there too.
