> why folks running real businesses love Rackspace

That may have been true when Rackspace were competent.

However, that was years ago, prior to them being acquired by a private equity firm.

No-one in their right mind should use Rackspace these days, under any circumstances.

Of course the OP would say that, the Xenon crew (which acquired Baremetrics) used to be from Rackspace, and from that Corporate Development group that made acquisitions. So it's ex-Rackspace folks running the operations there now.
