Agree, but my view on this is that the implicit answer of how you do all that (i.e. the file system, syslog) is now gone. There will be pain (complexity) in the short term, but at the end of the day, we're going to be able to build much better orchestration and systems. To kind of restate that, before you had to worry where a process wrote out it's output (stdout? /var/log/<program>? /etc/<program>/logs? /home/<user>/<program>/logs? syslog?), now you know want to get the non-stdout/stderr logs of the thing you're running, you'd better give it a volume to write to (which may be fake, and actually write everything to some remote storage or something), and I think that's a step forward.

Of course, I'm not saying containers should go everywhere -- relying on boring VMs over containers is fine too -- but I think rich world of functionality available to container-driven workflows is popular for good and bad reasons, and the good reasons are worth exploring/beneficial to me.
