I also think Docker is an excellent comparison, but the way I see it, it actually reinforces my point.

Docker does not change the API. I can take any simple program and run it with Docker, no modifications needed. That also implies that Docker is fully optional. If I ever need to, I can just run the program outside of Docker. Or I could run gdb inside the Docker container, so it adds no complexity to debugging.

OneDiffusion is exactly the opposite. To use it, I need to rewrite my app for it's API. Once done, I'm 100% locked in and it won't work without the framework anymore. And if there are any issues, I always have to check all OneDiffusion source code, too, because it is impossible to know a priory if the issue was caused by my code or by the framework.

Just imagine if Docker would require you to recompile your OS from scratch for every update: only hardcore Gentoo fans would use it. But that's the level of commitment that OneDiffusion asks of me.
