I love it. I am only using the Django templates (included by google). It is a great platform and even better if you don't want to be a sys admin.

There have been a couple threads on here about the good and bad of the platform. I have only had a good experience. You will need to embrace the way they do things to get the most from it.

I've been reading up on GAE+Django and it doesn't seem to support RDMBs or installation of libraries. Has this hindered you in your coding?

This hasn't been a problem for me. Their datastore is very fast if you take the time read about it. The documentation is great: http://code.google.com/appengine

The project you are working on should determine the technology stack, for most things I prefer GAE instead of EC2 (I have projects on both). Feel free to use my template/example from github.
