Hi,

Glad to hear that I am not the only one disappointed with the CellTable.

I complained about the same subject when 2.1 was released. After 2
years of waiting very little functionality in the new table was
released. I can understand the motivation of the GWT team, but they do
not  seem to understand their customers very well. Or, well maybe we
are trying to use a tool that is not fit for our purpose ?

The GWT compiler is great but the widgets remain minimalistic and very
hard or even impossible to extend.

In our projects I already moved away from most of the core GWT widgets
because they are so restrictive. As a result the risk is very high
that we do not handle all browser as it should be, and we actually
lose the core promise that GWT was given us: browser independence!

Since browsers are becoming faster every day, thanks to Google, you
might also question if the GWT compiler optimisations will remain a
huge selling point ?
