I used it and even took a class taught by salt stack employees.

I really was not a fan. I think one of the core problems I ran into was that the tool attempted to layer on rpc behavior to what was fundamentally a broadcast.

So you'd apply something to everything with a web role. The tool would attempt to make it appear as if you executed apply on n nodes and return after n responses. But since this was all just a broadcast what really happened is the tool dropped a message on the bus and then guessed how many responses it would get. If it guessed wrong the cli invocation would just hang.
