Regarding "cross-platform": Docker for Windows used to be really terrible IMO (relied on VirtualBox, did not translate WSL paths, etc). I never managed to get the networking between VirtualBox, WSL and applications (e.g. Chrome running in Windows) working properly.

Thankfully Microsoft rewrote WSL 2 in a way that makes it work much better with Docker.

I've also had some bad experiences with Docker for windows but that was quite a few (2+ years ago) - since then it's mostly been smooth sailing for me, even without WSL

My experience was that it used to be bad specifically because of the bad interactions with WSL (1)
