I've been using GXT for a while, and as previous posts have mentioned,
the amount of documentation is pretty sparse. I've been able to
overcome that by relying on their extensive set of demo apps, and by
reading through the API's source code. If you're comfortable reading
someone else's Java code, then you'll be able to figure out how to use
it. IMHO, I'd rather have zero documentation instead of bad/wrong
documentation.

The features I like about GXT are:
  - The UI looks super clean and polished
  - I actually like the layouts managers - I spent too many years
doing Swing, so my brain is warped into understanding things like
BorderLayout.
  - Its developed by the same company/group/people that work on EXT
  - The grid can easily handle "large" sets of data (1000 rows per
page, with delayed rendering). One of the previous posts griped about
no server-side integration, but I disagree - GXT provides objects like
BasePagingLoadConfig and BaseTreeLoader for asynchronous on-demand
loading of data.

I haven't used SmartGWT, so it probably has many of these same nifty
features. I basically had about a day to pick one, and so far GXT
hasn't disappointed me.

Good luck!
