Can you state your current opinion and reasoning? I think that's more valuable than a vote, at this stage. I know I'd like to have a broader discussion to try to agree on the best solution, or at least the best specific options to propose for a vote. For example, I think we've kind of gone past the point where "1 tool" or "2 tools" is a useful vote -- if two, it's a question of which two and what our goals should be for each. If one, again, what do we attempt to support in that one?
I thought that the dilemma for the vote was regarding the simplication of the deployment tool for code sake rather than for the user sake (i.e. one tool was difficult to code whereas two tools was difficult for the user). I see now that there is a need for two tools, each of which serves a very specific purpose. I now think that much of the dilemma surrounds the term 'deploy'.
I cast my vote in favor of a single tool simply from a user's point of view, all the while thinking that the strategy pattern would easily sort out the coding dilemma.
