Here are the enhancements I would like to have in GWT :

* incremental compilation to have the same ease of use than with php or jsp
; we have for instance an internal application where we have merged php and
gwt, and (from the ease of modification point of view) it is always simpler
to make a change or a patch on the php code than the gwt one. Incemental
compilation should render these task simpler

* compilation starting from .class and not from  .java ; we could use gwt
with code written in scala, groovy or better javafx

* include the javafx syntax in gwt for describing UI instead of UIBinder (I
hate xml for doing UI) ; we could even use the "bind" javafx feature in gwt,
which could improve greatly the way of writing applications

* refactoring theme management ; it fits not well with css way of doing
things ; it is to complicated and not flexible enough

* include html5 websockets

* "desktop mode gwt" like AIR ou Silverlight

* notion of timeline and states like in javafx or flash

* eclipse/netbeans ui composer plugin

* mobile and desktop  profiles

* launch the browser and set the url in it when running an application in
development mode

* OSGI-like mode to perfomr modularity and enabling to load only some
features for a specific user

* ...

Xavier
