So something you think you saw 5 years ago is a reason to not to invest in the future? Wow.
I saw recently a reference to a older version of cfengine that had growing memory signature (but it was never allowed to run and stabilize) but then it was compared to Puppet (as is so common these days) and even with this growth in used 10x less memory than Puppet with its Ruby at the outset. I think you need to keep a little perspective. Everyone I know that has moved to from cfengine 2 to 3 sees it as a huge improvement. Anyone can make something look overcomplicated, and anyone can oversimplify something, just as anyone can cast aspersions with no idea of their own. Cfengine 3 takes the view that you should have a language that expresses *safe convergence* and does not remove the ability of the user to express a configuration without lifting the lid and programming. Cfengine 3 = promises + patterns with knowledge management features. You are both missing the point completely.
