I’d be curious to hear what is bad about macOS docker support as compared to WSL2.

It's slow, volume support is worth calling out separately as extremely slow and the whole thing is... not exactly unstable, but unexpectedly brittle. I had to resort to really obscure commands and clean up files in weird locations when the desktop app broke on multiple occasions.

Now the really truly bad part is that most of it won't ever be fixed because of how docker needs to run on a VM (I'll happily and vocally admit I was wrong if Apple releases a mac subsystem for linux.) I don't care about the desktop app, I'm perfectly fine with running docker from the command line, hence why WSL2 makes so much more sense for me.
