> The UI is clunky.

The UI was originally designed with one end in mind: "Show me what is broken and take me there as fast as possible".

I and others have given lots of feedback about the strengths and limitations of that orientation, particularly trading off between a job-oriented and resource-version-oriented view of the world.

I've had this with the CF resource. The Concourse-y solution would be an undeploy resource.

The container engine is garden-runc, the actual containerising is the same code as Docker's. What I like a lot less is container orchestration. I have complained about this in a ha-ha-only-serious matter.

Disclosure: I work at Pivotal.
