This is a good write up. As someone who just recently started messing with Chef I found comparison articles non-existent. Though I have already put in several weeks with Chef and will probably stick with it I think Puppet looks like a great product as well. I hope both of these projects continue to gain users. It would be great to see them both compete/innovate well into the future. With that said I would like to see Chef's documentation increase and the merb application replaced by something else as someone else suggested. In the end they are both great tools and if you are sys admin it wouldn't hurt to learn one really well and become familiar with the other just like working with different Linux distros such as RHEL/Ubuntu only increases your sys admin skills.
