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.

I've actually been deterred from Heroku because of the pricing. I find $7/month too much for a website or a blog, especially as I like starting new projects. There may be months where nobody visits my sites. I pay 2.49 euros/month for a VPS in Germany with 20 TB of free monthly bandwidth, 2GB RAM, 20 GB of disk space, no brainer. It's just a bit more manual.
