Maybe you had trouble, but I think that those that aren't using containers need to be aware that many are using them successfully. Use of containers vs. VMs/dedicated servers can also result in reduced energy usage and can be less expensive.
I think people get hung up on what containers aren't and where they fail, rather than where they exceed.
