Instead of making blanket statements like these have you tried reporting the issues on the SmartGWT forum, or file an issue in tracker. I don't recall any posts from you on the SmartGWT forum, nor any issue in tracker. Given this, and your short history on the GWT forum, its hard to tell if you're just inexperienced, haven't read the extensive documentation, or have run into an issue but chose to roll your eyes instead of reporting it. SmartGWT is based on SmartClient, which has been around for some 8+ years and it is very stable. No software is perfect, however if you take a step back and have a look at the depth and breath of functionality it provides you'll realize that how low the bug / functionality ratio is. The SmartGWT tracker has only 34 open defects : http://code.google.com/p/smartgwt/issues/list Try comparing this number with you favorite major library. If you have run into an issue that is not yet reported, please do report it. Complaining that a library is horrible, but still the best suited for you makes no sense. If you've already made up your mind that SmartGWT is not for you, thats fine. But if you're want to be constructive, post your questions and issues on the SmartGWT forum and you'll see that legitimate issues are resolved promptly.
