Specs
Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pros
Pro Allows for portable application deployment
Docker creates a single object, containing an application with its dependencies, that can be moved between any docker-enabled machines, guaranteeing the same environment for application execution.
Pro Git-like capabilities
Docker tracks changes in systems. It allows for commits and rollbacks and for quick deployment due to having to deploy only the updated code.
Pro Allows re-using components
Docker essentially allows creating boilerplate systems (a LAMP stack, for example) that can be used as a starting point on multiple projects. And you can find multiple such containers already created by people in their public registry.
Pro Automatic build
Allows automatically assembling a container from its source code.
Pro Provides easy sharing and installation of containers through a public registry
Docker allows easily pushing and pulling containers to and from their public index.docker.io registry. Additionally, dotCloud maintains a list of official repositories of the more popular containers.
Pro Application-centric
Pro Works in virtualized environments
You can set up Docker within an already virtualized environment such as a virtual machine. This allows you to run Docker on Mac and Windows, among other use-cases.
Pro Low overhead
Pro Supports a wide range of isolation tools
Docker can be used with OpenVZ, systemd-nspawn, libvirt-lxc, libvirt-sandbox, qemu/kvm, BSD Jails, Solaris Zones, and chroot.
Pro Tool ecosystem
Pro It's reliable, fast and quick
It just works...always. It's fast and quick, which can save you thousands of hours.
Pro Very configurable
You can set all sorts of things from size of database to size of individual clips, types of objects to copy/paste, which hotkeys to use etc.
Pro Scriptable clips
Clips can be used/changed with scripts during copy or paste.
Cons
Con Large image size
Con Security concerns
Con Kernel OS fragmentation
Con Uninstaller removes nothing
After uninstalling removal of almost every file manually from different directories is still necessary since the actual uninstaller only displays "other files still remain".
Con Minimizes after each paste
You have to activate it twice to paste twice.
Con Does not support HDPI displays
On high DPI/resolution displays, the UI is very small. Practically unusable.
Con RTF bug is still present in latest Beta version
You can turn on the option to draw RTF text in the clip list, but it no longer works in Windows 10 Ditto (64bit), and the latest Beta version available today - which claims to have fixed the bug - still has the same bug. It will no longer draw RTF text as-is in the clip list.
Con The UI is very confusing
Con Can't use any shortcut you wish
Anything with spacebar, windows key (that the system also uses) is not possible.
