I stopped using Docker entirely after the Moby mess, when Podman came around without needing a daemon, and better runtimes became available for Kubernetes. It's been the inferior product for a long time, only kept alive by the dev mindshare they gained early on.

It's synonymous with "containers" for a lot of people. I know a lot of groups that use docker to build containers and other infra to run them.

Too bad the company screwed up turning their technology into a real business, or taking a graceful massive exit when they had the chance. Their VC's doubtless pushed them towards an IPO when they didn't really have a solid revenue plan.

Once they started nagging / forcing / tricking people into paying for what they had offered for free, they company was doomed. The "+WASM" branding all over their website reeks the sad desperation of a has-been coulda-been. Sorry folks, you built cool and important technology, but that's not good enough if you're greedy.
