In the beginning, I was skeptical about Paying for Docker Desktop I thought that it wasn't giving the best experience and it had some problems. Yes, compared to Linux that's where I come from But I changed my mind, I think it's worth it, I tell you why docker.com/blog/updating-product-subscriptions/

In Linux, it's an OS feature, in Mac we need a Virtual Machine and manage it. We have been using a tool that allowed the Mac Developers to take advantage of a solution that was available only in Linux and it helped to unify the developer's environments + simplify them.

Today, moving all the environment configuration to another solution, that probably won't be as mature as Docker Desktop (yet) won't be worth it The cost of moving + solving the different problems will prevent developers to ship value because focusing on infrastructure Huge cost

For companies with more than 250 employees AND less than 10 million in annual revenue continues to be free Good deal For those that have enough revenue yes, it's a visible "cost", but the cost of not using Docker Desktop today will be even higher

Definitely, we don't want to go back to each Developer having their own environment versions, and problems of: "I use Postgres 10.1.2 and you 11.2 and that's why it broke" Nor use Vagrant or alike solutions that are super heavy
