What do you mean? Gcloud is definitely not "easy" when compared to others like AWS. Also I think it's common sense to avoid google products because they tend to abandon ship in a few years.
I completely agree.
Would you like to follow me on G+ ?
Google & Microsoft are famous for copying what all the other companies are doing and then letting it all die.
Hello from Zune land.
I mean Google has very convenient libraries that developers can add to their apps/websites like libraries for ads, A/B testing, crash reporting, push notifications, etc. Even using one's Google account for SSO in an app just leaks a tiny bit of data for Google to suck up. I think the average phone user is unaware of how even non-Google apps can have Google code, even for iOS. Obviously, this is worse for Android since Google Play Services is installed on almost all Android devices.
This kind of feature is likely to be cloud agnostic, so Gcloud vs AWS isn't really what's up for debate.
They're likely referencing the ease of adding something like google analytics to a website, where you include a url in the code for a page and you're done.
