On: VPS Disk Performance, Digital Ocean vs. Linode

[wldlyinaccurate]

I wouldn't say that faster I/O is Digital Ocean's selling point - it's the price. If your bottleneck is I/O then you probably need more RAM, which Digital Ocean offers for 50% cheaper than Linode.

Regarding your other points, personally I'm not affected by the lack of IPv6 support (yet), and I don't know anybody else who is. I also think it's rich mentioning censorship and security considering Linode's history.

Doesn't make it any less embarrassing though.

For me personally, no provider is worth a second look that only provides legacy connectivity.
