With all the discussions about how Google turned off Gmail/AdSense accounts for no reason, I'm afraid to use App Engine. What if some bright mind or bot decides to kill my Google Account? I won't have access to my app anymore.
I like to have Plan B¹. If I were locked out of my Mosso Cloud Server, I would switch to EC2 or any other VPS in a matter of hours. This is not true with App Engine -- where would I go?
Also, App Engine has an Google-specific API. What if they decide to deprecate a part of it? This happened before with their Blogger API (I'm an author of blog client, and they I had to write new code to use it) and search API.
P.S. And sorry for offtopic.

1. E.g. I use only one Mac, but have 3 of them. This is mostly because they break every three months, and I need a replacement quickly (I'm not crazy, this is how Apple's service works in Russia: 2-6 weeks for a trivial repair).
