It’s pretty great, and I like that the workflow for creating containers is sliiiightly easier than on Docker. I switched from Docker to Podman for most stuff about a year ago and so far there are only two hiccups that I lament:
the higher disk consumption due to not being able to share image storage. (I’ve tried with additionalstorages but that seems to only be respected for podman run; podman build and podman compose seem to ignore it and always pull images from the registries)
Some annoying isses with fule permissions due to rootless design - running rootless containers will create files under your user storage that you as a user have no permission to transfer or remove for cleanup or security, and severely breaks the output of tools like du or find due to error spammage.
