Also, once I started accumulating projects on Heroku, I appreciated the consistency across maintaining, managing, and deploying those projects.
Meanwhile every time I'd deploy a new project to Linode, I'd use a different deploy script/strategy as I'd learn slightly better ways of doing it. It's much more annoying to do maintenance on my Linode projects I haven't touched in 6+ months, and it turns out I usually don't have the energy to re-credentialize in the idiosyncrasies of each sideproject, so they languish.
