Well, I didn't name the reasons of why we continued using Docker because I thought they were obvious to any serious docker user. The reasons are all the promises that docker makes to you without actually telling you the complexities involved. Namely - the promise of better portability, better dev-prod environment replication (You can even run vagrant for dev portability but you wouldn't use it for prod, but with docker, its just docker everywhere), better scalability with managing clusters and deployments, and so on... without actually running heavy virtual machines. And no, as per the docker promise, it wasn't supposed to be complex.
