I've had the same thought before, but I worry more and more about vendor lock in. I like DO because theyre just giving me a server - I can implement a proxy or a database or whatever on them the same as I would on any VPS. For me to use a service like s3 from DO it would have to have basically the same API as s3 or some other service I could switch to if necessary.

I agree as far as lock-in goes, but there are some fairly simple "cloudy" things that don't really require lockin. One thing I miss at DO is just being able to set up network-attached storage, e.g. an 100GB drive that I can NFS-mount on a droplet. Instead the only storage available is the instance storage.
