Docker certainly has its pain points but I've actually really enjoyed working it into our build and deployment process.

The command syntax is sometimes a bit clunky but they are making regular improvements.

Not to repeat lgbr, but the registry is pretty easy to get running. I had some problems initially, but it was mostly because I didn't really understand how to use a container all that well. That sounds somewhat silly, but it ultimately was true.

Finally, the hype is ultimately a good thing. There's a lot of focus on the project right now, which (hopefully) means we can expect a good deal of improvement and stability in the near future.

The private registry is easy to get running, but actually using it is very, very clunky.

I understand they want the public index to "always work", but the requirement to tag images with FQDN for docker to even try to use a separate registry breaks a lot of a very common use cases, such as transparent caching and mirroring of images.
