The problem for me is that "much simpler" is not good enough.
With DO for example when I go to their panel I never used it before it will take me tops 1 hour to find all the possible options, all perks and cons, everything. In just 1 hour.
I know, I know, AWS and Google Cloud is not DO and I agree. But would it hurt to introduce DO or Vultr style UX and make it easier for regular user to launch what he wants without all the expert language and need to jump in to documentation for hours?
Would button "Simple" and "Advanced" UI be really that hard to make?
I, as startup owner, dont really have time to focus on all the noise from large cloud providers, its easier to just launch 5 VPS with DO or Vultr and create my own infrastructure. And while I grow I doubt I will move my business to any of the cloud providers because I dont have time for it. Its easier to just build infrastructure on VPS's for $5 or just go for dedicated servers for backend.
