This guy loses credibility when he says that Django templates is ugly and that there's no unit testing framework. Those are defensible positions in the first 10 minute impression of app engine, but building a simple app (and testing it with GAEUnit) should put both to rest immediately. Yes, the Datastore is unreliable, but a newer, more reliable version has been released. App engine is still my preferred platform of choice -- just waiting for ssl, naked domains, and per-entity-group selection of which datastore service level to use.
