As an admitted novice, I looked at GAE, briefly. And the IDE is… where? I wanted to like it. I wanted to use it. Hell, I even wanted to try to learn Python.

Command line processing?
No IDE?

GAE == WTF() for me, at least.

Thanks for the post- it helped me give it up.

Total agree with Jon’s point. I found GAE way too limited and restrictive in their beta offering and they are now behind. I think the horse (or in this case the gorilla) has bolted.

Diego -

Search pages are nothing. Just look at Hotmail. Google doesn’t have anything on the web even remotely approaching the scale of Hotmail. GMail is a drop in the bucket in comparison.

@admin: ” to think Google has more experience in the cloud than MS is just an ill thought out argument.”

Well, I of course disagree. We could talk about page views handed out from Google seaches for one. I’m sure it’s a lot more than MSDN. But hey, we will just end up going in circles about it.

A lot of people are thinking Java is next with GAE. Personally, I’m hoping Ruby. *shrugs* We shall see.

@Diego, where do you think MS stores Hotmail,Live Services,Windows Update ( how big must that be?! ),MSDN servicing more page views than you can imagine? The moon? to think Google has more experience in the cloud than MS is just an ill thought out argument. Take your point on languages though, A few people have pointed out that Java is on the cards. Still can’t beat the Azure language support by a long stretch though. Thanks for the comments.
