I found Terraform's config file syntax to be much simpler and understandable than Cloudformation's JSON. However, there are a couple edge-cases around some of AWS' newer services, such as Lambda, that didn't seem well-supported, as of a few months ago. If I was using Cloudformation, I probably would have written a tool 20% as complete as Terraform to generate the json from another config file, so I'm glad Terraform exists so that I didn't have to.
