That's a good point. Ansible is robust, well-known, well-supported, and has support for doing anything and everything from creating users, to setting cron-jobs, MySQL users, and more.
This application only allows two things:
* Uploading a file, or series of files.
* Running a command, or series of commands.
In short I'm very simple. But because of that it avoids some of the horrors of trying to be overly-complex in the way that Ansible is. It avoids cryptic failures, and the horrible "language" for looping constructs, etc.
I could imagine adding support for cron, mysql, etc, but I think as soon as you allow real conditional actions to such utilities it becomes a mess to use.
