"Disclaimer: This article is not about "I am so clever, Google is so stupid". This article is about some Google AppEngine problems (or peculiarities) which might not be obvious for newcomers."

It would be nice if the title reflected that sentiment.

The same article in Russian (click "RU") has the following title: "Should you use Google AppEngine?". The author has been lost in translation.

I wasn't lost. In fact, original article was initially written in English, and then translated to Russian. It was intentionally corrected according to the taste of the place where it was published in Russian (to reduce "trolling").

So western tastes prefer trolling?

Nope, it's russian tastes that would make a huge trollfest of such a title.

So what we are left with is link baiting in english? no thanks... it doesn't need a title like that.

It would be nice if the article reflected that sentiment.
