We have used GXT from 1.2 to 2.1.1 on a mid-sized project. Pros - I think the look and feel is sharp and responsive (much nicer that SmartGWT IMHO - but look at the showcases and judge for youself). - Grids are the best I've seen (sorry SmartGWT) but no lockable columns (which Smart does have) - we had to write our own (I've posted them on the forums) - It's all java and it's trivial to debug / overrride features - Good community in the forums - Bugs get fixed if you are persistent enough
Cons - Quirky bugs and behaviour changes in each version - need to check for regression when taking an upgrade. - Only first point release if available if you don't have a support contract (even if you buy the product) and there can be a long wait (for your business / customers) between versions. - Mostly trivial examples in showcase that aren't like an app you will build (though to be fair same can be said for most GWT frameworks) - Not much doco / java doc, which can make complex apps / layouts difficult to get right - some unexpected behaviours -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
