I've been using it a bit, and I like it. However, it is a lot more like programming in Python (rather than defining configuration) when you do anything outside the normal rails.
That's not a bad thing, but it is a different thing.
Still testing it more, and my needs are different than everyone else's, but so far I wouldn't say to anyone who already uses Chef, Ansible, Salt, etc. they could switch to Pyinfra, because the 'core' tool for automation is similar, but the ecosystem is altogether different.
I am moving some of my personal projects over to Pyinfra though, but for now mostly to flesh out my own understanding of it—my main stuff is all still Ansible.
