ZK annonces that their approach is a server side centric. Conceptually speaking GWT and ZK are really two different approaches. Main argument for using ZK WAS they have a declarative approach to build the UI. This gap is now obsolote since GWT has the UIBinder.
To my point of view the main advantages using GWT are : - its capabality to deal with several browser specific behavior (and more over to let the user add browser specific behavior via deferred binding). - its client side approach : your server can support load more easily - its more natural for Programmers who came from Swing/AWT/SWT/GTK...
