I stayed away Terraform because (1) I believe in templating CloudFormation template instead of relying on another abstraction built by someone, and (2) Vagrant was deprecated for the rise of Otto, which I thought was a disappointment and since then I have been very careful at choosing projects like these, and (3) I use Ansible for config management so I want to avoid another tool.
In the end, you choose your toolset and I have made a deliberate decision to stay as close to the provider's bare metal solution and build from there. I can build my own tiny "abstraction" a couple hundred lines of Python generating CF template and parsing the template into readable human format.
