That's a shame, FreeBSD is actually a pretty impressive OS. You should give it a try, mono-cultures aren't a good thing.

To be honest I've never worked out why Docker gets so much press. If you use the Ezjail utility to configure and manage FreeBSD jails you have been able to do most of the things Docker does for years (stacked fs using unionfs, templates/flavours, snapshots, export/import etc) and this seems like a much simpler and more stable solution. The networking stuff is also easy using pf.
