When I open the website, I don't know what kind of website is this? Is this a Git competitor, Docker competitor, or GitHub action competitor? Even after I open the about page etc, it mostly filled with corporate fluff that does not help the end user to determine their need. It too much focuses on building, it should focus more like Git on code. when you open git, you see the code upfront, but when you open ActiveState, you only see build. Which is not really intuitive.

No need to containerize everything. Keeping all dependencies where they need to has never been easier. I've used it several times and I recommend it frequently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
