I still refuse to use Dockerhub and I cannot wait for Podman (and building multiarch containers) on Mac to get better so I can absolutely ditch anything Docker Inc or anything Mirantis touches all together. These are two companies I will NEVER trust again and will use whatever power I have to convince others to do the same.

Same! Can't wait to just get rid of it completely. Red Hat also hosted Container Plumbing Days this week and was pretty good! Looking forward to what they will do with Podman (specially on macOS)
Are Red Hat / IBM better?
Probably not better in so far as they're also trying to make a buck.

But IBM has pretty deep pockets - the kind where they could feasibly write off the bandwidth of a container image registry as a goodwill gesture and not bat an eye. Same with GitHub/Microsoft.

From recently history, the same cannot be said about Docker the company.

Pure gut feeling from having to work with employees from both companies, but yes. I feel like RedHat people care more about open source toooling.
Experienced sell-support-for-open-source business conservatively funneling enterprises into its support network vs increasingly desperate VC money young-ish startup doing things without being able to predict consequences.
