Docker is designed to be a 'application' container - 1 process per container.

LXC is designed to be a 'system' container - an entire OS except the Kernel per container.

People mis-use tools all the time - that doesn't change their original design or intended use.

let's agree to disagree on this one. I am not sure that system and application container are or should be different, but it's okay if we have a different opinion.

You might disagree, but the distinction is meaningful within the community.
