I am sure that Podman is technically superior to Docker in many ways, HOWEVER ... that doesn't guarantee that people are going to switch overnight. For people to switch, I think that it has to be:
1) Not just 40 or 50% better than Docker, but an order of magnitude better
2) Largely "interface compatible" (API's and "commands") with Docker, so that people don't have to relearn everything from scratch, and so that a large part of the Docker ecosystem "carries over" easily
If those criteria are met then yes for many people this could be a no-brainer, you just switch out the "engine" for a better one but the way you drive the car remains virtually the same.
Like what you said: "you won't even notice the difference in most cases"
True leob.
unlike docker, podman has currently no gui like portainer.io to manage. However, it's fits well with kubernetics.
Redhat people did something really good by creating podman.
Is it more efficient (performant) compared to Docker? That's something that can win people over, if they end up spending less on their cloud infrastructure then they have an incentive to migrate.

yes. podman is equally efficient like docker + it is more secure being daemon less.
All commands are same. just we have to replace docker with podman.
Time will let us know how good podman over docker. Let's wait what other system admin says about podman
