At the risk of naming names, I would guess it's chef amd fujin in particular he's talking about. I'll say, that as someone who has been new at this and has had trouble, noone attempted to steer me towards them. I actually had to specifically msg him and ask him what it was he was speaking of to get it out of him. And after all that, and complaining in channel and on list that puppet was driving me crazy because it's anti-programmy, I stuck with it and didn't go to chef. As you said, we're all grown ups. I looked at the availability of examples and the userbase and decided even with it's shortcomings (and you're blind to think there aren't any), puppet was the way for me right now. Anyone who it doesn't work for will eventually find chef anyways. There is a class of people it clearly works for. To me Ruby is a language I don't want to learn enough of to utilize Chef to it's fullest, but that I may be willing to learn enough to work around some of the puppet quirks that bother me.
