i think a lot of previous solutions focused on the "5x" engineer that was willing to comb through manpages and dig through the source (or at least the Makefile) if something unexpected happened.

many, many, MANY engineers are not like that.

many just want to build and push their features, and that's fine.

Docker knew that LXC was onto something and focused on the latter audience; that combined with their VC funding after they hit a critical mass is why they are heralded as having "invented" containers (even though they didn't).
