Ease of use for start up apps, Websockets!!! and the fact that it's a Red Hat product.
What are some features you'd like to see in OpenShift?
More Node.js build options via the package.json file during deployment. Web-based terminal or allowing c9.io access to SSH into OpenShift to enable the terminal via their IDE web-based terminal.
