I am one of those people who find GAE a joy to use especially for projects like intranet sites. Obviously, GAE is not one size fits all. It doesn't even try to be one. Although you might find it hard to know whether GAE is the right tool/platform as for the size of the product is immense (Google Cloud Platform). Heck, you might have missed what you truly need.
I was given a chance to work with AppScale on a project and all I can say is that Google is lucky that they're there. AppScale and GAE truly complement each other. And only those who've used both products will get that.
I am sad for those who are swayed to the FUD in this thread, they truly miss a lot. Not all people want to do devops. Not everyone wants to spend time brainstorming what the optimal stack to use. Some just want to code, build fast, and that's what AE/AS offers.
