I'd say fabric is more powerful than Chef or Puppet. Fabric basically lets you do anything and Chef and Puppet are constrained to do certain things in certain ways. Not sure why that would be considered more powerful. Also I think Chef and Puppet require production servers to do things other than production things, like check for updates. I'd rather just have production servers do production things and not unintentionally update or do things when someone didn't intentionally instruct the server to do those things (as part of an automated process of course).
