The way quadlets work is just such a struggle, if you have been using compose for years

Learning new things is hard, sure, but quadlets are not that complex. Take a few hours to sit down and read through the manual or a tutorial, and you'll find they're easier to maintain, write, and deploy.

Hot take: Docker compose is poorly designed, and very little thought went into the deployment side. It only 'won' because it was there first, and bad habits are tough to break.

Fully agree with the compose part, as it has some weird shit in it, too. I gave podman with quadlets many chances and after a while, I always switched back to docker for some reason
