> The problems with GXT are basically summed up by:

Not to dismiss your experience in anyway, but actually GXT to me seems
easier than Google's appengine.  At least with GXT I can see the
source (well not of the current master branch but ...) to clarify what
something does.  App-Engine is much murkier and if you want to talk
about lack of documentation (especially on bigtable).

OK, GXT and App-Engine are different products but as organizations go,
GXT and Google are not that far apart from my view with AppEngine
being the worst.

Anyway, if you can do it in GWT but not GXT then isn't that fine.
They are not mutually exclusive.

Here is what Darell (GXT lead dev) posted:

"GXT containers vs. GWT panels. GXT containers and layouts are great
when laying out your applications interface. They provide precise
control of your interface including area resizing. For these benefits,
there is a cost. Basically, you are controlling sizes and positions
via JavaScript, rather than natively by the browser. You should not
rule the use of GWT panels when building GXT applications. If you are
using many GXT HorizontalPanels and VerticalPanel's I would suggest
you consider the GWT version of the same widgets. As the GXT version
uses layouts which the GWT panels do not. But the best choise really
will depend on your particular use."

All the Best,
