I don’t know how you would even compare them. Quadlets can do what Docker Swarm or Kube does with dynamic instances and dependency lifecycle management. Docker Compose doesn’t have nearly the same features as Podman Quadlet.
Docker swarm uses compose files too. But really, when you have tools like Podlet that converts compose files to quadlets, it’s a pretty good sign that the two fit 90% the same use cases.
I think its more than Compose does a small subset of what Quadlets can do. I can understand why if your only use case is Compose and you already like it, why change? For me, the rootless by default and daemonless nature of podman quadlets, and its clean design all make it the preferred choice.
I dislike quadlets. Compose configs are way more concise, and just look nicer.
