IMHO Chef is a powerful and good tool, but it seems to lack intuitive 
simplicity. There are a number of different concepts, and you seem to have to 
grok them all at once. They're all at similar levels of importance, and 
abstractness, so it's hard to organize one's path to basic comprehension. 
Plus you have to figure out how to get it all running at the same time as 
understanding what it does. Running on top of Ruby only makes it all the more 
entertaining. Makes the brain hurt.
