I think the real problem with Docker is Docker Inc. The pressures and constraints the company is under promotes the creation of new features that can be marketed and new software that competes with products from the competition.

They have effectively no incentive on getting rid of bugs in the core product or to test features they do add exhaustively.

Sooner or later someone actually using containers will produce a docker replacement that will take over unless Docker focusses on what actually matters.

Docker Inc. desperately wants to be VMware. I don't think it's a coincidence that the official documentation is so full of virtualization-like choice of words you'd be forgiven if you thought they already were.

They do however seem to be cutting so many corners technically, that the risk is they get undercut on their core offering.
