If #cloud is so expensive, why did you ever go there?

#37signals: "Because we bought the marketing pitch. That it was going to be cheaper, easier, and faster."

I never bought the "cheeper, easier, faster" claim but it's true, it's much more convenient for a startup company or a "one man company" (like me) to grow and scale. But at a certain point in the cloud, you might have become "the cloud" so I guess it just evolutionary to build your own.
