While I'm basically fine with Colima on Mac, this seems like a nice alternative to Docker Desktop.

After some initial pains with colima, I tend to agree. Mostly, just needing to specify some VZ args[0] so I could run x86_64 docker images on my M-series.

Is there something in these desktop UIs that colima is completely missing?

[0] `colima start --vm-type=vz --vz-rosetta`

"some initial pains" = Colima VM running out of resources running kind, so I had to raise the CPU and RAM, and then raise the fd's in the VM itself to get it to work. but now it works!

Could this be the answer I needed to run an SQL Server image that refused to run on my M3 MBP? I was about to, sadly, try Docker Desktop, because of that.

That is exactly why I needed it, too! :D

Be sure to increase RAM over the default 2GB as well, that SQL Server container is hungry and will crash without enough resources dedicated to it.
