So far not a problem with both of them.

You can sort on the client side - it's per default that way if you
want to sort only the current page - in case you want to sort the
whole data and then have a page Nr. N, you will have to sort/page on
the server. New grid supports editing directly in the cells(so no page
refresh necessary). But i haven't used it yet.

I do not use GWT-ext. The whole javascript-wrapper concept isn't the
best idea imho.

Well, i found out that writting smth. as complex as Ext-GWT's grid
would take too much time and effort - can't really afford it in my
project. Using existing widgets bring some problems, mostly due to the
specific nature of your particular application, but they are solvable
and you need much less time for it.

Bugs, bugs and one more time bugs. Imho you'll need far more time
solving problems/fixing bugs with PagingScrollTable than doing same
thing with Ext-GWT's grid. But if you decide to write your own grid,
then using/rewriting/fixing PagingScrollTable might be a good
approach.
