I think the takeaway here is that AWS is designed to be managed via its API and that shows when one tries to use the GUI (Source: Had a similar experience).

If you're managing your infrastructure via GUI it's probably not moderately complex.
My biggest takeaway from the experience was how much the simplicity and speed of DO's dashboard interface stood out - the AWS web interface just felt laggy by comparison. I know it sounds like a poor reason to favour a platform but DO was just a simple pleasure to navigate and use.
