“Please let me know if I should stop developing apps for Google Products”

You're probably better off creating a product for a more professionally managed marketplace - like the Office365 marketplace - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp179924.aspx.

This lets you develop apps on Exchange (similar to your tasks app). See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj220499(EXCHG.80).a... and http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/office/Exchange-2013-Create-t...

Office365 customers (all of them are paying customers) who find it useful can install the app on their accounts. You don't have to stuggle with PayPal issues as Microsoft will pay you through the marketplace account after charging the customers.

Office365 support is excellent as well (they even do phone support). No need to chase anyone on Google+.

Paid or unpaid, this post is pretty much shilling.

Kinda funny. When someone comes on here and writes about how great some Google service is, it's an interesting post. Now someone writes about good experiences with a Microsoft service, and that's shilling.

Fine. If that's what you want to call it. I just want to point out alternatives. Take it or leave it.

You weren't just pointing out alternatives but actively dissuading someone. That's where I think it crosses the line.

The title of the post is "Should I stop developing for google?" If you answer it, you're actively dissuading someone. He answered and posed an alternative.

Yeah I mean it's not like I explained to you why I felt it was inappropriate in a succinct way in my spare time. (That is exactly what I did)
