Don, I agree with you. The simplicity is what I like about OpenWhisk as well. As a contrast, I was at a meetup about Knative a couple of months ago, and at that time basically only the build part was mature enough that it could be demoed. I remember asking my self what's the point of all this build stuff with templates and pipelines to create a container? Wasn't one of the most compelling ideas of serverless to get away from containers and focus on code instead? To me, it seems as if you are building microservices rather than functions with Knative? But, that's just based on a short 30 min demo so I might get another understanding of it if I do a deep-dive into it.
