I'm talking about development, deployment should be automated anyways.
As a developer I think it's easier to think in terms of how to send data to hadoop, sqs queue etc for processing and read results later than keep in mind the supervision tree, messages, mailbox size, linking and so on. And the "processing" side can be as well implemented in Erlang just I don't feel Erlang's features are needed in the "top level development" and create more problems and barriers.
