Pulumi made the mistake of immediately making remote state a paid-only feature. Even if it's not, from all the recent marketing I looked at everything useful required payment; for getting started with a project that's a non-starter.

On top of that, most of the worst parts of Terraform are no longer an issue with 0.12.

Its completely possible to host your state in S3 or a filesystem; it takes a bit of setup and there may be a few rough edges, but the effort or subscription is completely worth it. The secrets management alone makes it worth it, but their programming model is definitely the future. I think the fact that AWS just released their Cloud Development Kit is strong validation of the approach.
