Here are the things that TF does that you are probably not going to get around to in a comprehensive way-

- State tracking, especially all of the tedious per cloud resource details

- Parallelism- TF defaults to 10 threads at a time. You won't notice this when you write a demo to deploy one thing, but it really matters as you accrete more things.

- Dependency tracking- hand in hand with the parallelism, but this is what makes it possible. It is tedious, resource by resource blood sweat and tears stuff, and enabled by the inexpressive nature of HCL

Plus, you know, all of the work that has already done by other people to wrap a million quirky APIs in a uniform way.
