I absolutely agree, all those negative comments sound like rants from grumpy old guys. I have worked in HPC distributed storage and the problems the CoreOS people are trying to solve is a valid and present one: deploying flexible distributed storage today is an absolute pain.
Plus all the arguments about local storage failure being hard are moot because this is a distributed solution and the hardship of local storage reliability can be abstracted away almost completely.
