I found MVP works great with UiBinder. MVP pattern abstracts logic from widget so that most of logic(i.e., calculation, rpc calls) can be mocked and tested in plain junit test cases separately from those have to be run in GWTTestCases. What's left in the V part are now layout code in the widget which usually are lots of messy code with panels, styling, and positioning. UiBinder cleans up the mess with html.
