Well it still creates a fly.toml for you, which is still a new config file that I have to maintain across projects.


You update the toml file once (e.g if you have a release step), and then don't touch it again. Its more powerful than Heroku, so with that it gives you the option of adding additional config options.

I mean it even creates the basic file for you, I'm not sure what the issue is?
