To provide 1 contrary opinion to all the others saying they have a problem:

Podman rocks for me!

I find docker hard to use and full of pitfalls and podman isn't any worse. On the plus side, any company I work for doesn't have to worry about licences. Win win!

It's works great until you need that one option from Docker Compose that is missing in Podman Compose (which is written in Python for whatever reason, yeah...).

You can use the real compose (Go) with Podman now. The Python clone is not your only option.

Well, is this Podman's "service mode" also fully compatible with Docker Compose file functionality though?

Looks like the compose `watch` option is not yet supported[1]. Huge blocker for adoption in local development.
