I got that reaction too when I read it. There were other, sneakier NLP-like use of language. For example, "Being at the forefront of the container wave, one trend we see emerging in 2017 is containers going mainstream ..." It's a way to sneak in the idea that Docker is "at the forefront of the container wave". By accepting the rest of the sentence, it is easy to accept the earlier clause without challenge. If anything happened in 2016 in the containerization space, it was that Docker was playing a lot of catch-up to Kubernetes. It seems like they rushed out things and then they botched the OSX native release of Docker in Q2 2016, and lost a lot of goodwill in the community of individual developers (more so than CoreOS did with rkt? That's how it feels like to me. Back then, people thought CoreOS were the assholes for forking. I think that sentiment has shifted). I have not tracked how Docker is doing in enterprise, but I guess they are doing well? I kinda doubt Docker (specifically, Docker Swarm, and the orchestration tools Docker forced into docker-engine) will ever catch up to Kubernetes, but hey, things move fast, right? Having said all of that, I like this description: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14141832 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14141832 ... which makes _much_ more sense. Maybe now, someone will use Moby to create a native OSX Docker kit that actually has decent file sync performance (either with unisonfs, rsync, or nfs, and not try to layer it as another FS).
