My intention was to compare and contrast two services for developers who have a handful of personal projects, small-to-medium-sized public projects, and/or development needs. AKA, people like me. I seriously doubt any business manager is reading the blog of a random college student for server advice.
I host a handful of things. My personal site, my blog, my Gitlab; Git Reports (http://gitreports.com/); a couple of medium-sized websites for organizations related to my university; and (currently) a couple of staging apps for some freelancing. I feel like my use cases are fairly common in that regard, although I suppose I could be wrong.
So I attempted to explain why I found DO to be much more useful for my use cases. I'm not exactly starving but I am a college student so price is important to me. The things I run aren't entirely inconsequential so specs and uptime are also important to me. Like I said in another comment, being able to easily spin up fresh environments is convenient especially for staging. I found the management features convenient and easy-to-use. I'm not sure why thinking that a better interface is a good thing is an invalid opinion.
If you're saying that I should have included more context about my use cases, I suppose that's fair. Other than that, though, I'm not exactly sure what your complaint is.
I downvoted you, as you are not actually responding to any points in the discussion (either raised by schneidmasteror d23), but you are coming across as condescending and pedantic.
It's also very hard to understand your writing style.
