Should I bother learning Podman?
I am already fairly comfortable using docker and its tool set. Is the tide shifting towards Podman? Should I start learning how to use Podman? Thanks in advance.

Depending on what you're using it for. For companies it feels like the tide is shifting toward using k8s and not caring what actually runs your containers.
That's been the case for years now. No sane company runs production workloads on Docker or Docker compose. There's niche solutions like Hashicorps Nomad or Docker Swarm, but most will probably either use a Hyperscalers container offering and/or use Kubernetes.
They do, and then they write blog posts about how the complexity is killing their teams productivity.
That's for production, in dev Docker (or podman) is very much used.
