It's not brain-dead to get started with, like Heroku is. Anyone can do it when the docs are this clear:

https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/python

https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/nodejs

I'd love to see Beanstalk be this easy, but judging from all of the AWS documentation I've read, they won't get there anytime soon.

Note: I understand Heroku is solving the problem at a different level. I'm happy to work with the building blocks AWS provides (EC2 + ELBS + RDS etc.) but it's just the nice getting started guides / overall developer friendliness that's lacking.
