LXC on which Docker was based always had a much more sensible container model and contrary to the pervasive misinformation by the devops ecosystem is far easier to use.

It supports a standard OS environment and does not enforce the use of layers so users don't have to deal with single process non standard OS environment which removes half the complexity.

We are working on a project, Flockport, that supports LXC and provides an app store, orchestration, networking, distributed storage, service discovery and HA. So there are attempts to explore simpler alternatives.
