Love Ansible for its simplicity. For some reason it "just clicked" whereas I really struggled with Puppet / Chef / or old-school shell scripts. (That says more about me than Puppet and Chef)

For me, YAML files and fantastic documentation made more sense than the DSLs of the other two.

Currently we use it to setup our 12-factor app in production, staging, and development environments. (Django, Elasticsearch on Ubuntu)
