For a company who is "not trying to own the ecosystem" - they sure are buying a lot of the ecosystem.

I thought Docker wanted to be "just Docker" and not leverage all the tools and stacks which can or cannot be used with Docker? There is absolutely nothing wrong with the fist, but I am pretty sure Docker was pushing itself as "just Docker". All their latest acquisitions don't really reflect the image they want to portray.

Definitely some neat features here which will help people who need to use Docker but can&#x27;t use the command line.<p>For example, when you click the &#x27;Terminal&#x27; button on a running container, it automatically starts a docker-exec command in that container for you, which is handy.<p>For people checking it out today, note that it creates its own boot2docker VM, even if you have one on your system already. So Kitematic won&#x27;t be able to see any of the images or containers you have running through your other boot2docker VM.

Just checked out the source of Kinematic <a href="https://github.com/kitematic/kitematic" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;kitematic&#x2F;kitematic</a><p>Nice use of atom-shell and React.

Kitematic is pretty cool, though it currently has a rather hard time dealing with any docker things installed on the system the first time it boots.<p>Also its AGPL<p>If under Docker Inc in can fix those couple hurdles to wider adoption, I think it could become a pretty widely used tool.

This was a basic acquihire for talent. They&#x27;ve been working at Docker for many months.

I find it amusing that a application only runnable on OSX needs to drag along node + quite a few deps.

Interesting acquisition that proves graphical mgmt of containers is an important part of the UX.

I never thought you could &quot;buy&quot; an open source project.
