I don't fully get the negativity here. This seems like a middle ground between quick'n'dirty bash script and a well-crafted Ansible playbook.

Half the time if you want to do something quick'n'dirty in Ansible playbooks you need to use shell anyway..

I participated in a hackathon recently where my deployment process was just a bash script doing scp/ssh to a remote server and it feels like Scotty would fit well to that kind of use-case.
