Also their documentation. I frankly find it a personal achievement to hear of people successfully navigating their documentation to a working solution.

Just like you, I got burned for about a hundred dollars whenever they switched their UI for EC2 to only show instances per region. I have no idea when that change happened, but they weren't loud enough announcing it.

While they're desperately lacking in good getting started documentation, the reference docs are some of the best in the industry. I'll grant they're not pretty, but they cover everything in detail.
