OK, I *love* GAE getting outa beta and charging.  Yup, I *wanna* pay,
so that I can get what I'd like.

BUT: the downside is that they haven't offered me what I want.  Django
templates are fine, as is Python.  But on the client side I still have
to wrestle with Javascript .. which is also a fine language.

So what's my beef?  That I gotta use *two* languages.  Wimp that I am,
I'm sorta getting tired of this.  I've written a fairly complicated
GAE app, with Google Maps (and lately a few JS libraries), and I still
get the two wonderful languages mixed up.

So if I'm going to start paying, I want some love.  Either:

1 - A Python environment that emits Javascript for the browser (think
GWT)
.. or
2 - A server-side Javascript solution, like Aptana & Jaxer .

After looking at the *huge* advances in Javascript code, I'm tempted
to move from 1 to 2.  Lively Kernel is really nice, as is the JS
version of Processing.org's graphics.

But Google, as much as I love ya, you're still in beta.  I like your
approach much more than Amazon's, and I think your getting there, but
you're puzzling a lot of us who see you using GWT for high end apps,
but not giving us GAE folks the full Monty.

So what's your next move?
