Thanks. I was too emotionally invested. I actually work for Pivotal Labs, not Pivotal Cloud Foundry (though as of this week I'm on secondment to a PCF-related team). As a consulting engineer I get to see a lot of projects in a lot of companies. My eagerness for PaaSes comes from seeing a variety of approaches. Just using a PaaS makes large, expensive, disruptive discussions simply disappear. Those who go through my history will note that I take pains to mention other PaaSes, usually Heroku and OpenShift. When I talk about hosted Cloud Foundry I usually namecheck ours and IBM's.
