> Because containers are built on the Spoon virtualization engine, rather than simply providing an interface to container support in an underlying operating system, Spoon can containerize applications across multiple operating systems and provide advanced virtualization primitives.
That means it's not containerization, but virtualization. This hardly compares to the Docker world which offers a intermediate build system (edit: Spoon has a build system however), rich command line tools (edit: it does provide some command line tools) to work with images and containers, fast spin up times, and an ecosystem of container management tools.
Oh, and also this:

And.... that it isn't open source.
-- It does however supporting composing of build images, which is kind of nice. I've learned to like mounting volumes as a form of composing though within Docker.

See above response.

The Spoon build system and command line tools superset Docker functionality. And Spoon does have fast spin up times and very low overhead. And Spoon does provide container management tools (Spoon Studio and Spoon Enterprise Server), although these are currently more oriented towards desktop applications vs server applications as with the Docker.
Your installer is a browser plug-in. I realize (and appreciate) that the world is browser driven today, but I'm sorry, there is no way I'm using a browser plugin to install a completely unrelated client application. If there is another way to install the app, I'll be happy to take another look.
