Yeah, not buying that one either, really. However - and this is a big "but" 
- it drives me crazy how fast bugs get *introduced* in GAE and then not 
fixed for a long time.  I'm still on 1.6.3 because that's the last release 
that didn't have a crippling (for me) bug.

Don't forget Objectify over JDO/JPA.  I don't know why Objectify isn't the 
recommended API, other than I guess it's technically not Google's.
