Sounds fantastic, plus:

Every Google App Engine application can use up to 500MB of persistent storage and enough bandwidth and CPU for 5 million monthly page views.

This is more CPU than you could expect to get from a cheap Dreamhost account etc., and presumably more reliable.

Too true. It's also damaged by the overhyping of useless features: no-one buys a bus "just in case" they suddenly get thirty-five children, but everyone signing up for a hosting plan wants terabytes of bandwidth and enough CPU to survive millions of visitors a day.

What the devil?
