AWS Outperforms GCP in the 2018 Cloud Report

Choosing a cloud provider is about more than just performance. For me, I lean towards GCP because of the combination of awesome UX, custom VM configurations (which also means GPUs attached to a custom # CPUs), no-bidding spot instances, and the multi-regional cloud storage offering that replicates data across many regions for much cheaper than AWS.

I wrote about this last year if you're curious: https://medium.com/@robaboukhalil/a-tale-of-two-clouds-amazo...

AWS API gateway is one of the worst UIs I've ever used in my life. Lambda isn't great either. That said I love AWS, but I haven't used GCP much.

Yeah, because who cares about performance when you have a pretty UX?

You're confusing UX with UI. You can have an excellent UX that's still just a CLI.

Google uses "gsutil" and "gcloud" whereas AWS just uses "aws". Both are clear but because Google arbitrarily has 2 tools I constantly have to remember which one had which feature.

It's not a big thing but little stuff like makes it more cumbersome to use.

There's also bq for BigQuery stuff.

If they did merge... it would be "gcloud bq..." or "gcloud storage...", my fingers protest :)
