I used Flex 3 to mock up a UI for this widget, as the designer makes
it easy to drag and drop components around.  Once the UI mostly
worked, I wrote the code in GWT, now knowing which layout boxes I'd
have to code.  The two versions are pretty much equivalent at this
point: they have the same limited functionality, no graphics, each use
their respective rich-edit control, calendars, date pickers, combo
boxes, horizontal and vertical layout panels, and so on.

Just for the heck of it, I thought I'd post the size comparisons.

gwt 1.5RC2 with incubator controls (datepicker, datebox), widget
sizes:
128k uncompresed, 40k compressed (zip'd)

flex 3, release build widget:
Merged swf: 302k
RSL: 57k swf app and either a 523k swf library or 526k swz library

The gwt widget is smaller compressed than even the RSL (runtime shared
library) version.

And my widget works on the iPhone :)

Now to add features to the gwt version and make it ready for prime
time...
