First of all: no, and repeating this nonsense over and over doesn't make it any more true.

Second of all: I truly will never understand the hatred some people have for docker. If you prefer all bare metal install, then fine. But constantly shouting from the rooftops how useless and bad docker is seems a little silly.

Containers are fine but docker is a pain in the ass that lazy people use when they don't want to provide clean installation/packaging.

How many times have I seen an equivalent of "we use a custom fork of an obsolete version of an unmaintained package, so if you want to compile it yourself good luck because we forgot how we even did it. Alternatively, you can install the docker version"...

Great way to show off you haven't actually read any of the article past its title.

I read the whole thing, thank you very much. It's still nonsense. So you can take your sarcastic remarks and go somewhere else.

People are afraid of what they do not understand. This still holds true here.

And fear leads to hate.

Containers are great, but I find Docker's way of making container images to be pretty bad, personally. Fortunately you can use other tools to create OCI images and then copy them into Docker, as the runtime is pretty nice for dev machines.
