I have found that pure GWT works best, at least for our application. Since
our app is used by thousands of users at a given time, we wanted to keep the
code that gets downloaded and interpreted on the browser to a minimum. Also
to avoid having to look up different vendors for fixes, etc. we chose to use
just Google GWT. Yes, we had to write a few CSS styles on our own, but given
the type of application and the scalability requirements, we found that pure
GWT works best. The money spent on a graphic artists services for creating
good looking light weight CSS and icons has paid back already.

For the admin side of our app we had the first version with SmartGWT, but
have now migrated that to pure GWT. SmartGWT is a good toolkit but to
address scalability and load conditions, our tests (using GWTRPCCommLayer
and JMeter, combination et-al) found that pure GWT was definitely performing
better. So we did away with SmartGWT.
