AWS has been around for longer. Appengine just moved out of beta. There are a lot of "serious" applications on app engine. Many applications have their infra distributed over multiple providers. A combination of AWS and App engine will be more heard of in the future. Tweetdeck has (had?) a backend implementation on App engine - http://goo.gl/38nSU

The point is, terming an infra stack as great as App engine as made for non serious applications is a gross misunderstanding of what the app engine is capable of. You should first give it a try, develop an app and then make a statement.
