Wish these sort of projects would do a better job articulating what the value proposition is over leading existing ones.

Like why should I put time into learning this instead of rootless podman? Aside from this secret management thing it sounds like same feature set

This project is way older than (rootless) podman.

But I guess aren't their premise just the same though? I wonder how different "learning" apptainer is compared to "learning" podman given atleast in podman with podman-compose and many other such things, podman just is really equivalent to docker in a lot of scenarios with a 1:1 bind mostly
