Yes. Every. Single. Time. I’ve been using Heroku since 2013. In both a hobby and professional manner. I was even one of the first employees at a Healthcare specific Heroku clone (before we expanded to other products). I’ve been extolling the virtues of Heroku for nearly a decade. Whenever something new comes out there’s always some critical piece that’s missing. The simplicity and the “it just works” factor of Heroku cannot be understated. Take logging for example. Let’s say I want to add papertrail to a Heroku project. How do I do that? I click one single button. Heroku handles the environment variables, standing the logging container up, making sure I have access to it, etc. I don’t have to do literally anything to get it to work. The same goes for any add-on or service. Need Redis? Sure! Just click this button. That’s quit literally all you need to do. Compare that to AWS, which is a nightmare of config hell, permissions, roles, policies. And that’s just getting it created and stood up. Not to mention maintaining it. |

Absolutely ! It almost get to the point now where you need to be a "level-100+ aws <user|expert|warlock>" to know what and how to do it.
PS. Focusing JUST on UI/Ease-Of-Use. Look at hetzner cloud. I just love their cloud-ui ! (I feel that german efficiency in there - lol )
It reminds me of FreeBSD VS Linux. It's so less complex and the whole system(ui) just "fits" in your head :)
I love their UI in comparison to their competition. Like say Scaleway which I like very much and use every day but their (Scaleway) UI is looking like
"12 year old girl's bubblegum-and-unicorns party theme"
PS2. Now if only Hetzner has a default FreeBSD install image for their VPS
