docker compose is way too good to be fiddling around with alternatives. Podman is nice but the quadlet solution doesn't even come close to what docker compose offers

Just for info, you can use Docker's official compose (Go) client [1] and podlet [2] (mentioned in the article) with podman to run compose files.

[2] https://github.com/containers/podlet

This is using docker-compose. The old deprecated python standalone tool. Doctor compose v2 is a plug-in written in go for the docker cli.

Edit: looks like Docker release docker-compose v2 as a go standalone tool (https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/standalone/). I stand corrected.

Can you please elaborate? What docker compose offers that a quadlet based deployment cannot match?
