Nice, thank you! This does look promising.

According to this article, file sharing between the container and the host is about 80% faster in Colima than Docker Desktop for Mac, but still much slower than native:

    # Docker Desktop for Mac
    IOPS: 1545
    Bandwidth: 6.3MB/s

    # Colima
    IOPS: 2786
    Bandwidth: 11.4MB/s

    # Native
    IOPS: 28.6k
    Bandwidth: 117MB/s

Colima doesn't have all the annoying popups, telemetry, and other commercial aspects that turn off many developers from Docker Desktop for Mac. It sounds like a drop-in replacement otherwise. Terrific!

I'll still try to keep as much development native as possible for now, but if it ever gets to be a real pain I'll give Colima a try before mixing docker entirely.
