Yes, you are right. Picking an opensource project and making it work for you is very easy, but making something from scratch has its own fun :) . I stared building Claymus because I felt need of Java based CMS which is made for GAE, considering what GAE is, how it is different from other hosting services, services/apis GAE is providing to developers, etc. etc. etc.
Claymus is designed to give you maximum flexibility and support to build your app on top of Claymus. Along with all the GAE features you can take advantage of Servlet Level caching to minimize delay and cpu usage, plugable modules and themes, etc ... (complete list will be put on updated Claymus Website :) ).
