"I guess I feel this company is taking the work of the community, wrapping into a package which I just don't see the value in and profiting from all the work of others. It sticks in my craw..."
The value is that you can take the a JumpBox running on, say, a local PC, suspend it, copy it up to Ec2, and bring it back up where it left off. Or bring it up under Parallels on a Mac. You can use it as a base for a client demo or development platform, then distribute it to end users without having ton worry f they are using VMware, or Parallels, or whatever the Microsoft VM thing is called.
The value is not so much the prepackaged applications themselves (though they are well done) but the consistent Web admin tool and the complete portability.
