While I was boring myself to death last weekend and while everybody was talking about it I came up with a sample application.
Now I can talk about Google AppEngine as well 
It is simply a pastebin using the DataStore API, the webapp framework, the Users API, pygments and Django templates.
It is heavily inspired by http://dpaste.com
The great thing? It took me less than an afternoon (mostly reading the framework docs) and it is ~200 LOC. Even greater? One shell command to upload and deploy
I guess the question is “Would it have been quicker to develop without GAE?” 
@Sylvain: maybe the use case is too small but I have to say that it was really quick despite the time to learn the tools. If you see the source code you can understand that is very handy.
I will look at it for sure. Simple apps like that are great to learn by the code. I’m actually even more impressed by the UI and your CSS ninja skills
The deployment is really, really handy. My UI and CSS skills are not that much, I use blueprint CSS as you can see. Very few programmers are good or great with CSS and colors. I’m not one of them I think, but I can still learn CSS and talk the same language of designers
Very nice. I think this is one of the best pastebin apps I have seen so far.
Ме is impressed with this work. How did you get an invitation to appspot.com? I’ve pressed ‘Definitly’ the first day they announced a public use and still no information.
