Like: Stability. Their scale-as-you-go foundational products (S3, EC2, DynamoDB, ...) are amazing, full stop.
Dislike: A billion products, most of them half-baked, terrible DX, terrible documentation, pricing all over the place. Examples: regular Sagemaker is much worse than a normal VM, Sagemaker Studio is so so. CloudFormation is not great and only works with AWS. Smaller products are even worse.
I try to avoid as much as I can dealing directly with AWS APIs (specially their web) and focus on third party tools like Terraform, Ansible, etc. It makes it tolerable.
