We are very heavy users of terraform. We have thousands of lines of HCL and our own providers etc...

Terraform 0.x before 0.12 was heavily limited due to the syntax, you just worked around so many limitations. We are actively ignoring those limitations and we started working without our own templates using jinja that just generate vanilla terraform. No counts and no if/else needed.

Maybe with .12 we can move some of these back to plain terraform.

Upgrade so far is not smooth though, there are a lot of pains with the type system vs the plain old “I’ll figure it out for you”.

ALL of this being said, I really appreciate Hashicorp’s work on this, we could not imagine our life without terraform.
