I think it's more general 'Google-bashing'. Developers have every right to be extremely cautious about adopting any new developer tools from Google. Anyone who's used GAE has been badly burned, if not deceived by Google. Many unpopular, or costly API's were revoked unceremoniously. It is not easy to understand Google's intentions because they never seem entirely genuine or devoted to anything. This fly by night attitude is not acceptable for a tools developer. Developers want to trust people that are dedicated to their work. And I just never get this attitude from Google.

From what I have seen that is not the case. You can't just dismiss the many informed opinions you see on here as 'Google bashing'. I've seen many really good reasons for thinking that the web programming community hoped for something lighter and more innovative from Google. There are many good reasons why most of us avoid web-programming in Java and C#, especially those of us in smaller shops where one person might have to tackle the full stack.
