alt Hacker NewsOne advantage of Docker is reliable host-to-container file change notifications, allowing tools like Vite inside the container to detect changes. Podman and many alternatives don’t handle this well for our web development on macOS.

Yeah, it doesn't work with Apple Containers.
Works with OrbStack though.

Thats a use-case I never tried but seems valid. Is it a common issue on macOS?
