OpenStack IMO leans towards large scale deployments (think ISPs) .. while Eucalyptus IMO is more mature today, and leans towards Enterprise customers

You are absolutely right, but the problem with Eucalyptus is that I wouldn't call their development model "open". On the other side OpenStack is backed by really large and prominent companies, and it's development is fast and direction is deterministic ;)
