The "immaturity" being exposed here has nothing to do with neither stability nor bugs - in fact the angle is more about an ease of deployment.
Such statements are not new, and well known from "enterprises" point of view.
I remember same articles about Linux, few years back about Zimbra, few months back about proxmox, etc...

This is an endless statement : "Is it possible for a community-driven project to find it's place in business needs ?" The answer for Openstack is NO, when it comes to ease of deployment compared to VMmware, and any CLI-less required installers...
But even if fantastic progress has been made, on the different projects, let's face it, even more progress are required today to give a satisfaction to the OP.

Let's keep working as we are doing : fixing, testing, thinking, updating. 
When all the projects will be stable enough to work on a same level - I'm quite confident we could see more positives feedbacks from Gartner
