This looks great. I use the boto tools for all my aws stuff but they're clumsy for working in an interactive fashion like this. Going to install now to have a play!

Looks really slick. From my brief glance though it doesn't support the two things I love about the officials CLI: the filter and query facilities.

Looks cool, but this is an instant no for me. Sorry guys.

Wow, and your website isn't even HTTPS for what appears to be a security company. Get it together.

The constant -less-ness of operations type tools these days is starting to get rather funny.

Instead of bitching about it, you could very simply and easily fork this entirely open-source project and remove the code. It's literally a single line-change.

Looks great. My main complaint is that the templates feature appears to be reinventing Terraform. Would have been cool if we could use the Terraform templates we already have, or even provide support for CloudFormation (given this is an AWS-only tool).
