Hi GQL is not SQL, thats why it has so many limitations. In my opinion GQL shouldn't have been included in appengine. it leads too many people into thinking it should behave like SQL when the underlying datastore is not an RDBMS. In addition I have yet to see any specific advantage in using GQL over the datastore api, and in fact mainly downsides.
Amazon cloud (is many different products and services - none of which is directly comparable with appengine.) Azure is also a different type of service. All have there strengths and weaknesses but niave comparisons between them fall down pretty quickly. I think it is important to actually read about and understand the architectural differences between all of these types of services to really appreciate how they differ and how best to take advantage of what they offer.
