Price - traffic is included (while GCP/AWS charge a lot for it, and a sudden surge in traffic could lead to an unexpected bill), and the server costs a fraction of what a small server would cost on GCP/AWS (except for the shared-CPU instances which I found to be slower than Scaleway once the throttling hit). If you want to run a business, Scaleway's lack of reliability (servers often sell out etc.) may be a problem. If you're a hobbyist, the potential bandwidth bill from GCP/AWS is a show-stopper, and the Scaleway servers are more than good enough for many applications. Regarding the slowness, are you talking about CPU speed, I/O, or network?
