I've had nearly the opposite experience, except for support where I've had good and bad experiences with both AWS and GCP. I never understood why people love AWS support so much, it seemed pretty "meh" and I've heard from friends who have had truly awful experiences with paid support for security issues.

In my experience, GCP has a solid, easy, happy-path, and reasonable options for the more esoteric use-cases. AWS typically had a happy path that was clearly poor engineering/dev-ops practice, and more esoteric use-cases required gross hacks and either worked or threw weird errors that suggested it was a pile of shell scripts under the hood.

Everyone will have different experiences with this of course, but product excellence is not an advantage of AWS that I hear from people, it's always support, or pricing, or contracts.
