Yeah, if you want to use jails or any container-type technology on your own to use for application deployments, then you have to write a ton of scripts for creating, managing, and destroying them. I'd rather use someone's pre-existing set of scripts for that. And I am. It's called Docker. To me, asking why people are using Docker instead of plain jails combined with a series of other technologies is like asking why people make buildings out of wooden planks instead of trees. The question seems a bit wrong, because Docker is just built on existing container technologies. And I'd rather save a few steps. Planks are the exact shape and size that I want to deal with when building an application anyway.
