I use it pretty heavily for node.js apps. Every time I see the newest Rube Goldberg contraption for deploying code, my first thought is trying to figure out why they didn't do something simpler, like Heroku. Being comfortable with complexity isn't a good excuse for making things more complex than they need to be.

After dealing with complexity of building an app the last thing you want is more complexity. And this time of a kind you're not comfortable with. Obviously a lot of people were ready to pay to Heroku to hide that kind of complexity from them.
