I've gradually come to the conclusion that Ansible is the worst thing that has happened to config management in a long time.
It RESEMBLES configuration management enough that people use it as such because it's easy to get started with it, but it's really just a bunch of shell scripts in a trench coat and quite impossible to "do right".
But now some people can check off "config management" on their list and move on.
