David, I understand your point, it's shame. As soon as enough people start adopting smartGWT, critical mass will be built.
I know, for example, the Instantiations group is finishing integrating GWT-Ext into their VisualGWT product (which is a great $60 spend IMO). But Ext-JS will never get better from here in a LGPL format. I am planning for smartGWT. Thanks!
