disclaimer: i'm the OP and work for GCP

That completely makes sense to me, and yet runs in mild conflict with the feedback below where at least some users want us to do a bit more "selling". I've heard numerous times from customers and prospects that they'd like for GCP folks to just "spell it out and tell me why I should pick you", so this was my take at doing exactly that.

I'm definitely trying to convince you of something, but I don't want my/our tone to have you come away with a negative impression, or for you to read it as anything other than an excited nerd happy about his tools. Thanks for the feedback!
