That might work for whatever you are doing, but the truth is that root-ful containers are not appropriate for a lot of applications, and docker as a layer to your container runtime is rough sometimes. I don't think docker wants to continue to develop this anyway - they have had enough problems trying to be profitable so instead it is time to focus on docker desktop and charging for docker hub image hosting.

I feel like we are kind of in this weird limbo where I know I need to move to a podman focused stack, but the tooling just isn't there yet. I guess that is what makes Quadlets interesting, but idk if a single tool will really emerge. There is also podman-compose floating around. I still feel like I should hold of on some stuff until a winner emerges. So at home I'm still on docker with compose files. Although I will be moving to kubernetes for... reasons.

Docker already supports rootless, the issue is networking, which podman also suffers from.

There's already a clear winner, docker compose. Podman is barely used in prod and podman compose is barely used in dev. Docker also has buildkit and rootless configs so I'm not sure they are just letting it decay.
