> IMHO, one should always consider if being opinionated about the fundamentals of a platform is good thing when most enterprises will want to chose their own fundamentals.
I work for Pivotal in Pivotal Labs, until recently I was on secondment to Cloud Foundry, an opensource PaaS.
We have expressed opinions all over the place; Cloud Foundry is full of Pivotal Labs DNA.
With rare exceptions, the advantages of having a complete PaaS are just too damn good to pass up. It turns out that customers don't necessarily want a particular configuration -- they want the absence of difficulty.
In that situation, one-size-adapts-to-all is very, very attractive.
