Sounds like we agree then! I'd rather stick to generic technologies so I can migrate away if needed. If the service being offered gave a big advantage but didn't have any realistic migration paths then I'd be very cautious. All I mean is that between the major cloud providers there's a decent overlap of common services you can use such that the advantages are hard to ignore. I think we're at the stage where doing everything yourself with some generic VPSs or your own machines isn't economical or productive if you value your time in a lot of cases.
