Not having to login to admin, or not having to have a shell open on the 
server?

One could argue that rsync does what's needed, although that's not a 
solution for Windows.  Chef and Salt can handle Windows, though.

And those machines that have a VCS installed are likely to  be run by those 
who want more than linear commits and pulls.  I think that's true on Heroku 
as well as regular development machines.  And devops don't want to touch 
individual machines, they want to have automatic scripts fire.
