The new AdWords UI is built fully with GWT (as Ray mentioned during his presentation). Since AdWords is Google's main money generator, I don't think GWT will die any time soon. But as others mentioned, this an issue with any library that you need to consider, but in this case I don't think it's that big of a concern.
