StackStorm developer here and I definitely am writing this as an engineer. We in fact use ansible for our own infra where we deploy a bunch of StackStorm nodes. Our CI CD pipeline, staging tests and packages promotion all are driven via StackStorm workflows. We also spin new environments on every merge commit to master (results in OS packages which are then deployed to a box) and have built sophisticated automation with StackStorm workflows. Every time I use Ansible, I cannot get over the fact that it is bash in Python. Our API driven approach, chatops, declarative when needed with workflows and ability to be imperative (write python code) for actions etc are things I really love. We are learning from all of the other tools ourselves but I also hope we are setting trends in workflow orchestration.
