> I see no reason using Docker at least on Linux boxes. Not sure how Podman fares on macOS or Windows. I hope the majority doesn't end up with your point of view. Docker is not RedHat/IBM. If Docker goes away RedHat gets to continue to push their corporate agenda with a heavier hand. There are some advantages to Podman, but there are also some things that have not been executed well in RedHat's mission to replace all things Docker. If you look at the history of how RedHat approached the container space they could have contributed, and improved, a lot of projects they ultimately wasted time and effort on. RedHat isn't a company that has an agenda of doing right by the customer and that's why you should consider what you hope for from a bigger picture perspective.

Red Hat had ample reason to develop Podman when they started the project and no reason now to abandon it. Red Hat tried to work with Docker, but it didn’t go well. Docker also shot itself in the foot trying to push Swarm over Kubernetes and a bunch of other silliness until they had some serious management/leadership changes. Podman, IIRC, is 100% FOSS. Not sure you can say the same for Docker. If Red Hat gets stupid with Podman, the rest the community can pick it up and carry on under a new name. Not true of Docker. If Docker gets bought by, say Broadcom tomorrow, the community can only fork the bits that are open.

Honestly, I trust Red Hat a lot more than Docker. After the first two or so sentences, you don't mention a single specific thing in your comment, so it's difficult to understand what you mean.
