The sense that the app store has been a neglected, second-tier priority is deep enough now that it will take them a while to regain significant developer trust.

AWS is very close to a de-facto standard now.
Edit: I mean app engine, the hosted web service. Not the app store. Thanks.
- grandalf 16y agoI agree. However I hope they do regain that trust b/c app engine is a far more pleasant platform to develop on.
- c1sc0 16y agoCan't repeat this enough: the main reason I develop on appengine is that it removes server admin headaches completely from the equation. Ok, you get other headaches in return, but most of the time it's stuff I can deal with.
- ordinaryman 16y agoapp store has been a neglected I guess you are confusing the Google App Engine's App Gallery : http://appgallery.appspot.com/ http://appgallery.appspot.com/, which has been removed for some reasons and the Google Apps Marketplace : http://www.google.com/enterprise/marketplace http://www.google.com/enterprise/marketplace, which is the actual App Store, where you could pay and install apps. App Gallery was just a GAE application show-case center, and most likely was causing confusion to Google Apps customers too. I am still a developer who trusts GAE (my app was on the appgallery and is also listed on marketplace) and believe that they will continue to compete for developer mind-share, as they proved yet again with this performance update. Let go of the fear, uncertainty & doubt and hop on to try an app. You will like it too.
