Terraform as a language is a bit clunky and feels not quite complete. For example, to accomplish if/else logic, you have to hack something like: `count = var.is_foo ? 1 : 0`

More than the language syntax, getting any response from the hashicorp team on their official providers is like rolling the dice. If your bug or feature pr is a bit on the fringes and not in their sights, it can sit for months/years without traction or even a non-automated response. With just the aws provider, there are over 3000 issues and nearly 400 open PRs. That team is understaffed or mismanaged. It has gotten marginally better over the last year or so, but generally speaking, Hashicorp doesn’t seem to care while they’re pouring all efforts into their own cloud. 1. https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws/issues/1... 2. https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws/issues/6... 3. https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws/issues?q...
