> It's such a fundamental tool to development in this day and age
I'd change this to "web" development. There are a lot of us not doing anything that requires even thinking about docker.

I'm not alone in picking the word "fundamental". In the same survey that is article is based on, Docker was the #1 "other tool" for professional devs. SO had this to say about it: "Last year we saw Git as a fundamental tool to being a developer. This year it appears that Docker is becoming a similar fundamental tool for Professional Developers, increasing from 55% to 69%." I think the comparison works too. Git isn't the best tool for everyone, but is extremely common and a sound default. Docker also isn't the best tool for everyone, but isn't far off on being as ubiquitous.
