I get that my tone would be offensive if used against a person’s personal achievements, but this is an enterprise product likely built by not one but several teams, and the writer is the principal product manager. They don’t get the privilege to lie about their product and expect it to pass without outright mockery, and I expect them to be compensated for being in such a public position and forced to perpetuate whatever the executives want.


I'm a happy user of Docker Desktop myself (as a personal user) so Enterprise is not the first thing that came to mind when I read your comment. Sorry for misinterpreting.

In that case, seems fair enough that as a business suddenly being asked to pay for Docker Desktop, you'll start asking for a more polished experience.

But they've already done the incredibly hard part which is creating and popularising OCI, developing an engine that works on most operating systems, and having nice tooling around all of that.

Polishing the Docker Desktop experience should be fairly easy as soon as people let the Docker devs know how they expect it to work: https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues


It’s not like we haven’t been trying! Just see how these map to the issues I originally mentioned:
