Docker was created by dotCloud for a different purpose than it ended up as. I think they are owed credit for what has become an incredibly elegant solution to many problems, and how great the user experience has always been. Compare it to other corporate-managed tools like Terraform and Ansible. Both of them have horrible UX and really bad design decisions. Both make me hate doing my job, yet you can't not use them because they're so popular your company will standardize on them anyway. Docker, on the other hand, is a relative joy to use. It remains simple, intuitive, effective, and full of features, yet never seems to suffer from bloat. It just works well, on all platforms. There were a few years of pain on different platforms, but now it's rock solid. And to be fair to them, their Moby project is pretty solidly open-source, and if Docker Inc dies, the project will continue.
