Thanks, I hate it. It might look fine at first but once you need anything more advanced than running a hello world container, it falls apart. Fun fact, there is no set of flags that would correctly build a multi-platform image on both Docker and Podman -- I found out the hard way.
I guess Podman may work if you go all in on it, but pretending that it's a drop-in replacement for Docker will bring you only pain.
