I can see the appeal as a replacement for make; in fact, it might be something I do without ever thinking of using make — just because I use Docker more often than make. I use Docker for sort of a virtual network interface to allow me to connect to two VPNs (a VPN inside a VPN environment). Any good hardware/software finds all sorts of niches to fill in time.

Docker just announced Docker Extensions for Docker Desktop -- already configured long-running agents that are "managed" with a nice GUI. I use the Tailscale extension to let my development pods talk to my tailnet. It's really handy (would be even better if it worked with the local Kubernetes cluster in Desktop). Of course you can do this yourself fairly easily, but it's nice to have it "managed" for a non-essential part of the workflow.
