Why are people using Terraform, a relatively horrible and inconsistent tool to deploy their software as code ? As it is better than the alternatives and everyone is using it. It is the same with K8s. Yes, it is complex, however, as everyone is using it it is super easy to find documentation or example for pretty much anything. Finding the same documentation for Nomad is much harder. Career wise all major platforms (Azure, GCP, and AWS) offer K8s, and therefore it is much better to learn the principles of K8s instead of focussing on the relatively obscure Nomad platform.
