Have been an AWS user by default since launch. Basically try to muddle through, have had some good experiences (RDS, S3, EC2, Amplify hosting) and some frustrating moments where I threw up my hands (other parts of Amplify, doing custom stuff with Route 53). Now I'm using Firebase and Google Cloud Storage on a new project, and I've generally found the UIs to be clearer and better-organized than AWS, and the documentation more accessible and easier to understand. These GCloud tools really do feel tailored with the average hacker in mind, something I often don't find at AWS. UI/docwise, AWS kind of expects you to to come to the mountain, not the other way around. As an example, getting Firebase Auth up and running was worlds easier than Amplify Auth, which I flailed helplessly at and gave up on. Curious to learn more about GCloud, see if the rest of it is this good.
