This post totally misses the forest for some trees. Docker isn't a success because it is some amazing revolutionary technology that doesn't exist in another form. Docker is a success and beloved by many because it provides a UX that doesn't require learning about a lot of this stuff upfront so you can get a lot of the immediate benefit without knowing a ton.

I don't feel smarter after learning yet another deranged mind's conventions.
