I'm currently stuck on a mix of shared hosting and VPS with my asp.net apps. I'm really keen to move to something simpler that also fits with my git-workflow. AppHarbor looks very promising and much simpler than Azure (hopefully cheaper too!)
Azure is expensive, but its getting better. They enabled full IIS in the latest 1.3 release. Now you can host multiple websites within a single WebRole and map subdomains to each site. Remote Desktop access and full admin rights removed many other restrictions as well.
SQL Azure still has the craziest pricing. $10/gb. Thats why we decided to go the 'NoSql' route and use Table Storage for everything possible.

Pricing is going to be a huge deciding factor.
