The User service is handy and simple. That it only handles Google accounts is a problem for me. I've created a lightweight identity library (LID) which is similar to the User service and provides authentication for Google, Facebook and any Email. Google auth is via the User service, Facebook via OAuth and Email via an Email sent to the user which contains a URL they visit to sign in. Sign-in is cookie based.
There is a demo at https://cilogi-liddemo.appspot.com. The library is on Github at https://github.com/cilogi/lid. Its not general purpose, requiring Guice and running only on App Engine but it may be useful for someone if the User service is functionally OK but doesn't provide enough coverage.
