It's worth giving Ansible some credit here. Alternatives like Chef, can and do contain arbitrary Ruby logic which can make Chef "cookbooks" horrible to figure out and debug.
So while Ansible may not be great, other solutions also have drawbacks, and it isn't quite as easy as do <x>.

I've worked with both. The simple items are nicer in ansible but when there are a lot of custom roles and functions ansible isn't much better than chef from what I've seen in practice.
