One my basic design philosophies is I learn key things deeply, and fit them together, without layers of "make it easy" tools that introduce incessant XY problems and integration issues.

If something is "magically" easy, it either is a meaningful design/algo revolution or it overpromises the production case while showing off the trivial. Most of the time it's #2. Docker was #1.
