Clearly GAE does not "suck". We've used it a lot, e.g. [1]. The principal advantages are:
- No sys admin. You can just focus on your app.
- The datastore (BigTable) is slick. Write and read times are independent of how much shizzle you stick in there.
- They're constantly making it better. E.g. the free quotas got more generous after a few months; and the new built in cron and off-line processing (taskqueue) support enables more complex apps.
Clearly not for everybody. We love it. Does not suck.
