I may be a Johnny-come-lately when it come to GWT but coming from a Flex background, I REALLY would like to see Google put more into this UiBinding thing. Laying out a UI in Flex is so easy and it's the only thing that stopping me from coming over to GWT.

I used toe UiBinder once or twice and it was easy enough to understand, but hard to get a good flow going. Having full content assist for all the attributes of a control that could be set (other than ui:field) would be great. Also, having the @UiField generated automatically in the .java file would be a nice touch.

Looking at how Flex came from just an SDK to an Eclipse plugin to having an IDE based on developing Flex apps, i'd say that if Google did the same they'd get a lot more hesitant people (like me) on board quicker.

Note to Google: No shame in following by example if somebody else did it right.

I'm really excited about starting to use GWT for all my future web app development.
