Apologies if I'm wrong, but it sounds like you're not that familiar with Ansible's roles and the public Ansible Galaxy repo for them?

There are tons of roles available, for just about everything, and the quality isn't always great, but still higher on average than what I've found for most Chef recipes and Puppet modules.

And that's not to mention the very high number of high quality modules that are builtin to Ansible.

I am familiar with them, yeah. In practice, across a pretty wide spread of clients, I have never seen them used or written by anyone who isn't me. This is why I referred to it as a culture problem; the tooling problem is the lack of a Berkshelf equivalent.

I would strongly, strongly disagree as to the quality of most Ansible modules that I have dealt with, but it's probably more based on exactly what you need than anything else.
