> - uses the familiar Docker Compose spec, no new DSL to learn

But this goes with assumption that one already know docker compose spec. For exact same reason I'm in love for `podman kube play` to just use k8s manifests to quickly test run on local machine - and not bother with some "legacy" compose.

(I never liked Docker Inc. so I never learned THEIR tooling, it's not needed to build/run containers)

podman-compose works fine. It’s a very simple format.
