Linux containers feel like weak imitations of jails and zones found in FreeBSD and Solaris/illumos, for that matter.

Except the user interface for them on FreeBSD compared to i.e. docker is atrocious.
Yeah zones especially, I agree.
Why not Jails? It was pretty much the first to provide this in Unix land. I guess the advantage of Docker / containers was / is the nice TUI for developers as well as Hub. We never had a ‘jailshub’ in FreeBSD.
Somehow I think Tru64 and HP-UX vaults had it first.
