I do a lot of app engine at work. I'm aware of most of the sharp corners the platform has, but overall, I think it's a great offering for a wide-variety of applications. So, when it comes time to host a side project, App Engine is my go to platform these days. There are a few times when I prefer going with EC2, but I like how easy it is to get a project started on app engine, especially when I'm confident that the application will scale should I need it to.
