I would add that the default output is a bit kludgy.

Rendering output to JSON is super annoying when your commands have lots of '\n....\n....\n....\n....' in them and you're trying to find the "line" where the relevant error message appeared from the command called by your state.

Also, there are some messages (e.g. ssh key verification failed) that require a higher level of verbosity than they should for the correct error to appear.

Still light-years better than puppet or chef though.
