CloudFormation is slow (custom resources take hours to time out), it's unpredictable (behavior is different for different services). I wish it didn't use stacks (drift happens and can only be fixed manually) and was just idempotent like ansible. It also doesn't come with sane defaults so you have to supply a load of boilerplate code (cdk fixes this using constructs).
