I'm currently in the middle of converting my team to straight CF instead of CDK/Terraform/Serverless. To me it's needlessly complicated, CF is simple, configurable, importantly it's _declarative_, which is the 'correct' way to approach infra (imho, of course).

Deploying it? `aws cloudformation package -> aws cloudformation deploy`. That's it. No need for third party tooling or other madness.

I think the lack of understanding the fundamentals leads people to picking up tools that abstract the fundamentals away (but then leads to more complex solutions).

The thing is, Terraform is the industry standard, for better or for worse. Much like Helm for Kubernetes (or Kubernetes, for that matter). If you go somewhere else, the expectation is probably that you know how to use those.
