Ok, just one more comment. Both serious and tongue-in-cheek style.
To use a metaphor, I hope that Google App Engine will become like a
real car and not be a plastic toy car for kids. Maybe someone from
Microsoft or Amazon has managed to infiltrate the management of App
Engine at Google. Not only do (did) the sometimes exceedingly long
start-up times for application instances suck, there is also (at least
was) a lack of clock synchronization between GAE servers. This means
that an application like Twitter is not possible to implement using
Google App Engine. For example, the Twitter API allows max 50
something calls per minute in some cases. That's impossible to
implement reliably without predictable clock synchronization between
servers.
