Having looked into and setup test implementations of Cloudstack, Openstack, Opennebula and a few others... I have to say I was not that impressed with the current state of Openstack.
For starters the documentation left much to be desired. An example of this was the implementation of their XCP support. It exists, it's a thing in the stack... but good luck implementing this based off of the documentation! They fail to mention that it isn't really possible without an extreme amount of hacking. In general the documentation leaves a lot to be desired in my opinion, and for a project seeking as much influence on the cloud space as Openstack is, this is a big miss.
Cloudstack has its own issues, but was a reasonably well documented project with a clear implementation path. To note though, is that comparing their XCP/Xenserver compatibility isn't fair since Citrix sponsors this project...
I think one of the problems with Openstack is it is trying to be too many things when the core foundation of the software does not seem to be fully 'defined' yet.
