I'm completely happy with the Linode control panel experience. AWS I don't have to worry about because I use DotCloud which handles all my network configuration and instance maintenance.

Prior to CK's acquisition by Rackspace, I'd say the main selling point is a common control panel experience for cross provider stuff. They were adding on monitoring as a pay service top as well.

I was suggesting it initially as a way to not suffer any pain with the existing Rackspace Cloud CP.
