Been developing on DotCloud for a month or two now, and minus a couple very minor hiccups it's been fantastic. Some things I'm really looking forward to though:

* Pre-install hooks in addition to their post-install ones (to, for example, move file x, push update, move it back)

* Some kind of admin panel with usage monitoring

* Pricing announcement (would help to plan for the future, since I plan on deploying with DotCloud too obviously)

* An API for accessing the DotCloud commands programmatically from a service, to do things like 'dotcloud alias' within an app

Actually, that's about it. It'll be nice to see some additional service types stabilize (particularly mongo & memcache), but other than the above it's really been an amazing platform to work with, and the functionality/simplicity balance is very well thought out.

pricing is my major concern and the only reason i'm not throwing sites onto dotcloud. i don't want to migrate stuff to dotcloud and then have to migrate it back again if pricing doesn't work for me.
We're taking pricing very seriously. The status quo of platform pricing is not good enough, and we want to fix that.

Expect an announcement soon.
