If you use EC2 as your server, aren't you are pretty much stuck using S3 as your data store, unless you want all of your data requests going out over the interweb and back to populate pages? This means you end up coding to S3 instead of a more generic database structure. That sounds fairly proprietary to me.
Also, although the pay as you go pricing structure is good for a business, it's a little pricey for someone to just try out or use for a hobby site. I can't afford $75 / month to set up a server to play with in my spare time over a couple of months...that buys almost a full year with a shared hosting plan.
