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.
