Yes - the unchecked bad attitudes by some of their maintainers is awful. I can't believe there isn't a major fork to docker-compose because of it.

We don't need one. Red Hat is working on podman.

Podman is great! It plays much nicer with the rest of my system and doesn’t require root for things that shouldn’t require root! Additionally (afaik, I don’t really use kubernetes) it maps better into kubernetes models of things with pods and kube.yml etc.

Rootless support has been in BuildKit since 2018. I feel like all of the tools RedHat rebuilt, that didn't really offer anything new and in a lot of cases offered a whole lot less, is centric to very diehard RedHat oriented folks. If anything we should hope that all of the Docker bits stay where they are because I surely trust RedHat far less under IBMs leadership.

And, no. Podman doesn't offer any advantages in the Kubernetes ecosystem by mapping better into k8s "models".
