I'd claim that making your teams and processes work well together is much harder than chucking your infrastructure and going to the next PaaS vendor. As we know, development processes of today are inherently complex - in just about any mid to large size enterprise there are geographically distributed teams that need to manage and synchronize complex dependencies and processes throughout the lifecycle of developing, testing and deploying/releasing and monitoring at an increasing pace. And that is what DevOps is intending to solve, using a combination of the right tools, culture and collaboration. To claim that PaaS makes this development complexity magically disappear is wishful thinking at best.
Tom, your article inspired me to write a short post on our blog, http://www.electric-cloud.com/blog/2011/10/04/for-devops-paas-is-not-the-noops-panacea/
