There is something I still can't get about #Docker. It's the trend to distribute even small simple scripts or apps as containers.

There are definitely some cases when we have to distribute, deploy and run large complex software. And those cases are completely understandable and Docker (or any other containerisation) is good for it.

But when I see, let's say, a simple #Python tool distributed as a container, I see the same problem as with #Electron but even worse. Instead of running a browser, here we have to run almost whole operating system in a sandbox wich is almost like a virtual machine.

To me it looks like an insane overkill and overengineering.
