I spent some time working with Azure and it was a nightmare. Really Azure should be as easy to use AppHarbor and its nowhere close.
AppHarbor so far seems butter to me. It's something I think is needed for .NET devs. If Scottgu hasn't seen it, show it to him. ScottGu's patented demos would be great if he pushed his bits live up to AppHarbor.
The big problem I have with AppHarbor right now is Git. Git on Windows kind of sucks, although it could just be my lack of knowledge about it. A Subversion version of AppHarbor would be sweet.

No, it's because it was written with POSIX structure and assumptions in mind. Until someone takes the initiative to actually rewrite the git core targeted at the Windows environment, Git will always be a second class citizen on Windows.
I use git on Windows all the time and have no problems with it after disabling the automatic crlf mangling. I am usually pretty confused why people act like Git doesn't work well on Windows. It works just as well for me; maybe a bit slower, but still definitely faster than other SCMs.
