I made a similar comment the first time I heard about these guys. We're a .Net based startup currently hosted in Azure and was really excited to learn about AppHarbor. But like you mentioned, there are some other very valuable services in Azure such as SQL Azure which still seem to make it much more attractive.
We committed ourselves to the Azure platform because we also needed things like Table Storage and Message Queues. I'm not quite sure what their road-map looks like, but before claiming to be 'Azure done right' I'd like to see some tips on how I would run my Azure app within their service.
I have to also admit that the GIT stuff basically prevents me from actually being able to play around with it right now.
