>>> The setup isn't as easy as good old FTP, because you need to define your static files in a configuration file.<<<
Are you referring to specifying the path to your static folder/directory in your app.yaml file? If so, that doesn't seem so difficult to me.
Yes, you're right - the deployment is a single command for something as simple as a static website until the next time you need to make changes (then you'll have to root around your terminal again) or you decide to upgrade from static to something a bit more complex. Shameless plug here - my site, https://nocommandline.com, allows you to just select and click deploy; no routing around in terminal/commandline.
