It happens where people hire me, man. ;) And many other places where I've been a consultant. Popped in, looked around, and went "hey, this is pretty good!". About...hm...30% of my Chef engagements were with messy codebases. Another 50% were fine. 20% were better than the applications they supported, and by a lot. I get that not everybody is a Ruby person. "Chef but in Python" probably would have done pretty well. But it is genuinely not that difficult and probably more widespread than people give it credit for being.
