I am not surprised that a Docker core dev wants to run everything in containers, just for the heck of it.

What does surprise me is the increasing number of hack-haters on the hackers news.

Agreed. What the author is doing is really very cool, and I just can't see anyone running Windows 10 ever doing anything similar.

To the degree she did? No. But I'm often starting my development tools through docker for windows as it keeps the mess some programs make contained.

Cool? Absolutely. Time consuming? Probably. Worth it? Well....

hack-haters

maybe in this case it was not so much directed towards the hack itself, which sure is cool and, erm, hacky, but more towards the clickbaity title announcing something 'ultimate desktop' which indeed isn't what most might consider 'ultimate'

It's ultimate because it gives you complete control and you can build or utilize however you want withou any fear of dependency or environment risk. its the ultimate abstraction.
