Hey, (long time no e-mail)
I've used puppet and chef in the past...
I really enjoy chef (one of my co-workers suggested last week that I
marry chef because im so stoked about it).
I find that chef is really good for dealing with application deployments
but lacks a bit on the system admin side, as where puppet is a lot more
geared towards sys admins.
My previous job had an environment where the sys admins used puppet to
control the environment and application admins used chef to control the
apps - it worked pretty well.
Something that I like about chef moreso than puppet, is how it uses
roles (im not 100% sure about how puppet deals with this, as I didn't
get into it) - but its pretty easy to create a role with a lot of
re-usable configuration in it and then override it with anything machine
specific.
(I know in puppet, you can use node configuration options.. but it just
doesn't seem as refiened)... also for ease of use, the chef web
interface is pretty good.. and I've used pychef to create some pretty
interesting informational apps (the environment I worked in had 5000+
machines).
