Did you try (redhat's)-libvirt? I used that for a project. It can use lxc, but also qemu and kvm. All with a generic interface (which actually is not so generic). It was quite nice to work with. I guess my project wasn't suited for docker. All i needed was an image to run a process in a custom environment. I didn't need the Dockerfile and versioning stuff. Which, in my opinion, is the reason to use docker. So instead of saying "Docker, no thanks", you probably did not find a suitable project. Which is good! I see a lot of people using docker, just because it's awesome and everybody on HN is talking about it.
