DO rocks but it's missing one feature: curated images. I imagine a LAMP ninja is able to setup a server that has most security and performance tweaks cooked in. Make that an image and let devs copy it. I've had a few Droplets hacked b/c all I did is what DO wants clients to do: click, build from image, use. Obviously best practices were not followed. I am a dev, I don't have the time nor interest on becoming a web server expert as well. B/c this missing piece I now moved into a different direction: static sites/apps hosted on S3 that haul the dynamic data from a parse.com account, and I even have Cloud Code on Parse for those little needs that must run server-side.
