I have ditched docker desktop on macOS for OrbStack.

OrbStack looks pretty nice, BUT an $8/mo/user subscription? Blech.

Useful software that makes our lives more convenient is worth paying for--after all, it pays most of our salaries, doesn't it?

It feels a little hypocritical for us to feed our families through our tech talent and then complain that someone else is doing the same.

It's the subscription model that chafes. For SaaS? Ok, sure. But for a desktop app, I just don't like it. It might not be entirely rational. shrug
