I've been using Rackspace Cloud Servers for about a year now, and like everyone else is saying the control panel is a bit weak, but you do get "push a button, get a server" tools on there. I'm far from a super sysadmin but I've been able to create/remove servers, resize them and generally administer them competently without any trouble using the Rackspace control panel.
That said, my needs are fairly simple. The most complex thing I've had to do is provision additional IPv4 addresses on one of the servers (for SSL hosting), and a support person did that for me in under 10 minutes via their web-based chat support.
Unless you have a site that will actually use the gobs of bandwidth that Slicehost or Linode includes (and I don't), then Rackspace Cloud will end up being cheaper.. My single-IP servers cost me between $11 and $15 per month on average, based on bandwidth used.
