Docker has just been getting too good.

Now I’m waiting for someone to create a docker fork where docker has access to the host system directly outside of the VM and shared volumes.

Although I'd argue "Docker without containers" is a UX achieve.

They're not VMs, they're containers. And it already supports accessing the host filesystem, see the `--volume` flag.

They're VMs on Mac and maybe Windows (dunno if it uses WSL).
It uses WSL2 on windows.
