My only gripe about the Echo is how 3rd party apps are integrated. I'd prefer it to be seamless. "Alexa, good night." should result in my HA system running a night-time scene. The current “Alexa, ask {Greeter} to {say hello world}.” is cumbersome and breaks the natural language flow. We should be able to have a conversion with the computer, not give it properly structured commands.
