Background job processing is so essential to any app that I've ever built, that the lack of suitable free background processing (whether via cron or DJ) effectively makes Heroku not have a free option for me. Even if I'm writing a little toy app, it will probably involve DJ and cron, so it will need to be hosted somewhere else than Heroku.
(as for bigger apps, let's not get started... Heroku is pretty expensive at scale, not sure what they have that justifies it)

I was going to go for GAE for a project a few months ago, and decided on Heroku because I can just get straight to work instead of fapping about configuring things. On another, slightly related note you could use Mirah on GAE, a ruby like language. It's pretty neat.
