It's not so much usability, it's a matter of the intended audience.
Most people do *not* have Google-scale or OpenShift-Online /
OpenShift-Enterprise-scale problems, and that's my impression of what
the "sweet spot" is for Atomic / Kubernetes. If you're developing for
that kind of operation, Atomic / Kubernetes have features / benefits /
advantages compared to other PaaS offerings, as I'm sure the RHEL
marketing team can show. I'm doing what I'm doing (Atomic under Client
Hyper-V on a laptop) because I want to reduce the number of vendors
down to Red Hat / Fedora and Microsoft. ;-)

While we're on the subject of talking points for "cloud", a big part
of that is 'fedora-dockerfiles'. That's a lot more interesting to
smaller-scale users like me, IMHO. See
https://fedorahosted.org/cloud/ticket/84.

For the curious, this is what I'm building -
