Wow, I have the complete opposite experience. Monitoring, metrics graphs and logs are just miles ahead in Google IMO. It's so much easier for getting visibility.

Do you really prefer Cloudwatch to Stackdriver? How about having a Lambda being triggered both on SNS messages and HTTP requests (setting up a proxy) and having that Lambda deployed with a CD pipeline - compared to doing the same with Cloud Functions?

But I guess it also really boils down to which products you make the most use how, how and your scale. Clearly we have different preferences.

I guess I am not seeing the bad parts you do because 1) Apart from DNS and some IAM, most infra changes are done from Terraform or CLI and 2) I have pretty high-end workstation.

A series of loaded questions does not convince anyone :) With large accounts all of these tools start to break down, by that point it's much easier to work from the command line than, say, navigating GCloud's single global view of VMs which becomes actively harmful in this case. I run 1500 instance load tests on GCloud quite regularly, so this is not some imaginary problem, and genuinely large accounts can easily grow to 10x that

I'll always prefer the ability to quickly hit refresh than waiting 4 seconds because I made the mistake of ctrl-clicking a link, and now a new tab is 'booting'. But I guess this preference depends on how quickly one expects to be able to get their job done

I was actually genuinely curious, I guess ^^

Oh yeah, the inconsistency in which links open in new tabs by default and which you can ctrl-click and not is a bit frustrating in GCP for sure.
