I have used GCE, AWS, Hetzner, and OVH. On the face of it, while the GCE interface seemed very strange (e.g. can't rename most resources after creation), I have come to the conclusion that it is the best of the cloud providers. The flexibility of being able to upscale/downscale a machine, setting it up and then shutting it down until needed for free, the sustained use discount, and the fast startup keep me coming back. That said, I run a lot on Hetzner and love the fact that it just works. Edit: syntax, addditions for Hetnzer.
