I just moved from AWS to OD last week. Very happy so far. AWS was slow and expensive, but has some handy features that DO should implement, the main one being RDS (dedicated database instances).
Also, I miss is backups and on-the-fly snapshots. I looked all over DO's site and eventually had to write a support ticket to find out how to activate the backup section in the dashboard. It turns out they had removed this option. Bring it back! I could consider moving to Linode just to get backups.
On AWS I could take a snapshot without rebooting. On Do it says it can take up to an hour, which seems a long time.
