100% agree with you there.

Personally, when I looked at kubernetes, mesos, etc and saw the xml hell that i'd be living in and said "no way".

If i have to run something as complex as those to have docker then it's not worth it to me.

When I look at the new docker swarm stuff. For the first time I think that docker is a viable thing (assuming it all works). because I'm not adding additional complexity to get my docker simplicity.

Not sure why you are being downvoted. My sentiment is similar... Docker's historical advantage over other solutions is easy-to-use interface ( including Dockerfile). Can't wait to try swarm out.
