I'm using emacs for GAE projects and I haven't noticed any issues. Django lets you deploy/test from the command line, same goes for Java.

Then again, I do always keep a shell open when I'm coding to run tests and stuff.

I also have no problem using GAE and Emacs. I just run the dev server from the command line and its all good. Make changes to the code in Emacs, refresh the browser, and the changes are there. Where would you run into a problem that'd make you switch editors?

I often use pdb/ipdb.set_trace() in the code to stop the server and inspect stuff during execution. How do you do that with GAE under Emacs?
