I've always been a minimalist, especially in regards to software development so when choosing a development stack I have to be pretty sure that it will provide everything I need and that no single level in the stack is going to cause problems for the others. I looked at some of these libraries, read feedback on them, but in the end I decided to go the pure GWT route knowing that if I should find a feature lacking then I can either implement it myself (after all, it all comes down to HTML and Javascript) or I can wait for the GWT team to implement it.
