Remember, I am frequently wrong and fond of bombast. I feel that AWS has a strength and weakness in the fact that its longevity has led to a massive feature set. For those who've grown in expertise alongside it, AWS seems natural and obvious. I have instead come to this super-featuresome platform and found myself totally lost. If I was one of the people who'd consumed the new features piecemeal over the space of a decade, it wouldn't seem so daunting. I guess the same will happen to GCP. But even so, I find it much easier to get around in GCP. The console is obviously built as a unified experience. It still has a CRUDish flavour to it, insofar as it requires you to have some of the underlying model in your head to use efficiently. But it needs less and it tends to be less of a hunt for the foo that uses the bar that depends on the baz based on the quux which is ten bloody screens away under an ill-chosen name. Oh and AWS console seems to have a vendetta against allowing me to open up a bunch of tabs easily. I hate that. I usually want to look at two things side by side because weirdly, I find it hard to retain randomly-generated strings in my short term memory. As for performance, GCP brings up VMs extremely quickly, the networking is really fast and the prices are nicer. Truthfully, I've touched maybe 5% of what AWS or GCP offer. But the 5% I've seen is compelling. I think Google are going to finally break their total reliance on advertising revenue.
