Thank you for the honest feedback, this is the first post I've seen arguing the technical aspects of the article, thank you.

> The strike-out font was a nice touch, man

I've made it clear in other replies [1] that the comment was of poor taste, the strikethrough was intended to show that I was wrong to make the statement, but also not attempt to hide it from history. I have since moved it to the bottom of the article to draw attention away. To be absolutely clear, I admit I was wrong to make that comment.

You hold the opinion that most of the technical frustrations I mentioned are not deal breakers, for you these things don't matter, but to me they do. As I explained in other comments [2], my priorities are based on precision, perfection and beauty, not "getting the job done".

In my use case, Docker worked in production for 6 months and got the job done, but it left me feeling frustrated and dirty. As such, I'll refrain from responding to your individual technical arguments because we have a fundamentally different view on priorities and importance, and will result in both of us wasting our time.

However I've added a link to this reply in the article, as other users might find this rebuttal helpful. (If you would rather I remove your handle, let me know).

Thank you again for spending time writing this detailed reply.
