I think people is looking for information about GWT vs Flex not English writing skills.
Anyways following features makes flex more appealing compare to other RIA frameworks 1. Data Binding in Flex very useful and powerful feature. You can use your DTO to transfer data between Flex and Java backend (use Hibernate Annotations) and map them with ActionScript class and bind them to UI. You can do that using few lines of code. But you have to make sure you don't overuse it because it will slow down you apps (lot goes behind the scene to make it happen) 2. Module base application. If you are developing big application e.g. health care in that case module base development make lot of sense. Different group of developer can work on different piece and bring everything together using ModuleLoader. 3. GWT don't have such feature and many people has requested (talk Bruce Johanson at GWT conference and have open feature request still pending) here is the link http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=620&q=modules%20communication 4. UI widgets are good with Flex compare to GWT. You can also using CSS to make it more appealing and do it using online Explorer tool for free. In case of GWT most of the people knows you have depend on third party open source library & many know what happen with that e.g. Ext- GWT 5. Flex is plug-in base and GWT JS base. If user disable JS in browser or flash player is not allowed on PC (school base network & some companies still do that). In that case both are useless. 6. It is not relevant to the topic but other framework like www.appcelerator.org makes use of web1.0 and 2.0 very well with little learning curve. 7. In case of GWT it is hard to separate designer role and application developer. 8. Flex base application can be deploy to desktop using AIR but I have not done it and don't have more to add. 9. Flex, Blaze DS is open source which will attract more developer from OO world. But you have to maintain Actionscript classes on client to match Java POJO on server. It might be factor when you have big app. 10. Exadel Fiji is an extension to JavaServer Faces to fully encapsulate Flex.One more product taking advantage of Java & Flex. 11. GWT is excellent choice if you have PHP or JSP base existing code base and want to keep UI in line then go with GWT make sense. 12. You have some cool websites using GWT e.g. www.classconnection.com (favorite of mine) 13. GWT - RPC is very easy to use and choice of IDE plus so many testing tools make it very attractive platform for all Java. I think it is natural to compare GWT with Flex since both are so much similar in terms of usage so it all depends on requirement.
