Having implemented it across 10k+ servers in 12 datacenters I'd say he means Puppet is overly complex for what provides. Kind of like Docker. I think people equate Chef to the same over-complexity.
Having now used Salt and starting to play with Ansible I'm growing an extreme dislike for Puppet and the weeks of my life I can never recover dealing with things that Salt has made so much easier.
