I second JWP.

For me, I am learning rails and the ability to collaborate in this
manner is unique to Heroku thus far.
I have been very frustrated with tutorials which focus on scaffolding
that has been totally rewritten with rails -v 2.  Heroku allows me to
learn rails by collaborating with others in real time and I am
learning quite a few different approaches to building apps.

I definitely see Heroku as a useful tool and am prepared to endure the
growing pains.
