Hey all,

Some time ago, we started work on a web based UI for ACE based on GWT. Feature 
wise, GWT is great, providing a nice web UI that supports things like drag and 
drop. There are two big downsides of GWT though:

The first is that the javascript generation is rather slow, making the 
development cycle when doing UI updates fairly slow.

The second is that there is no way to modularize the GWT based UI. You always 
have to compile it in one go.

In my opinion, Vaadin [1], a toolkit built on top of GWT that is released under 
the Apache Licence Version 2.0, solves both issues nicely. I'm seriously 
considering moving the whole UI to it. WDYT?

Greetings, Marcel
