I've found the Docker discussion is seen through a better lense when you talk about the tech it's running. For polygot/hybrid cases where you have a smattering of different languages and supporting technologies/services, docker makes a lot of sense. If you're all in (for example) on nodejs with a monorepo, it probably doesn't - you're just an "npm install" away from deployment. Whenever I really dig into the docker passion, I usually find devs who are frustrated by having to manage a million little details to get the dev environment going. If the language/stack takes that pain away, docker loses most of its value.
