Small things about AWS suggest it's a load of different products held together by duct tape.

Case in point - I was fixing an issue today, so had iam/s3/ec2 open. They have different favicons. I had the situation we all know where I had 40 different tabs open whilst trying to work out what was going on, thought I didn't have an AWS tab so opened another one purely because the iam favicon is completely different to the rest.

I know it sounds silly, but it is indicative of the entire thing - their ECR doesn't support going back in the browser for one. I'd run to GCloud, but unfortunately the company i'm contracting at won't move.

I can easily imagine this being a deliberate decision to make it easier for someone who uses AWS a lot to click the right tab when they have 40 tabs open.

I agree with the point that GCP feels like it has better docs and API than AWS.
