Have you had to use CFEngine in production though? It's atrocious.

I use CFEngine 3 in production and the report collection and instant insight into infrastructure that it provides is quite elegant.

(E.g. http://www.slideshare.net/cfengine/15-nice-reports-with-cf-e...)

For example, I wrote a report to inventory which hosts are connected to Active Directory, and had a pretty pie chart for management in minutes (across 2K+ hosts).
