I really like that they opted to do everything over SSH in contrast to both Chef and Puppet that need a client/server configuration or at least some of their packages installed locally.
We do all of our deployments with Chef Solo and push our Cookbooks via Fabric over SSH to our servers. Pallet is definitely something to have a deeper look at as I don't like installing more than the bare essentials of what our apps need on our servers for various reasons.
