Hi Ben,
I know I would get to beta 1 or a prototype faster on app engine but I did not know the limitations you mention would cause such headaches. I thought we had more room.
What I like of app engine is the search service but I think it could become costly - there is no price right now but the api call limits seem rather low. And I see that you can do full text search in Postgres at no additional cost than the monthly database plan.
