This comes off as overly defensive and entitled, like "we brought you containers and you stab us in the back!?"

I don't see why they need to view this as an opportunity to fight back and criticize another app container system, rather than enthusiasm about the continued spread of containers and expressing a desire to cooperate on building open, interoperable standards.

Where's the critic of Rocket ? All I see is that they disagree with the choices made by the team behind Rocket and they want to blog about it later. Other than that, Ben seems to only say that Docker was built by and for a community of developers and devops to make applications run consistently on different platforms. Ben says that expanding the scope of Docker is the right choice despite people being opposed to it, if I understand him right.

No, I'm not a Docker fanboy. Yes, I think Docker is pretty cool. Yes, I think the competition from Rocket is great and I can't wait to see how things go.
