It's also the reason why some AWS product teams have started acquiring IDE- or CLI-type of start-ups. They don't want to be boxed in by the constraints of the AWS Console - which is run by a central team. For example, the Redshift team bought DataRow.

Disclosure, co-founder here, we're building one of those CLIs. We started as an internal project at D2iQ (my co-founder Lukas commented further up), with tooling to collect an inventory of AWS resources and be able to search it easily.
