Overall Satisfaction with Linode
We are using Linode to host two of our services we are offering. One is an e-commerce Magento installation and the other is an accounting Java application.
The accounting application is mostly used internally, while the Magento installation is used a a POS and online shop.
At the moment we just have one person managing the Linode accounts, while several people have access to the servers by SSH.

We built some applications on Google App Engine, and in comparison to Linode, you are more locked in and there is a steeper learning curve, as you have to adapt to Google's tools. In Linode, you can use whatever you are used to. With AWS, you are able to make whatever setup you want but the pricing is a complete mystery and the interface is very hard to learn and get used to.
