The only thing I don't like is their usage-based pricing. On Heroku I could pay $7 a month and know I'd never be charged more than that. I'm sure when you're scaling a service it's fine - maybe even better - to do it on a sliding scale. But for a fire-and-forget blog site, I don't want to have to worry about stuff like that.

That's also something that has kept me with VPS hosts over cloudy things for hobby stuff: a) included traffic amount is vastly higher there, leading to way lower cost per GB if you need it and b) they usually do just cap you if you exceed traffic and don't opt-in to pay more.
