Still happily using Colima as a Docker Desktop for Mac replacement. It even allows mixed architecture containers in the same compose stack. What's podman gain me besides a half baked Docker compose implementation?

Keep using docker, who cares. The article is concerned about CVEs, etc, but this doesn't matter for development very much.

If you use k8s for anything, podman might help you avoid remembering yet another iac format.

My laptop isn't exposing any ports outside localhost, so all I care about is validation of my containers for local-only testing (similar use case to Docker desktop.)

Colima would/should never be used in production for a number of reasons, but yeah it's great for local only development on a laptop.
