Totally agree with you comments, Jeff. I evaluated GWTDesigner because, generally speaking, I like RAD tools. However, I found it very slow to start - maybe a bug or something - but, being comparatively happy with XML, HTML and CSS I found that my workflow was smoother using UiBinder and it was much quicker to make changes and see what was happening. Also, I tend to use a lot of my own widgets and programmatically add and removed them from pages, and so the direct UiBinder approach made that easier.

I stress that these are my own personal opinions and  YMMV. I'm interested in 
other people's opinions.

Regards

Alan

If that is indeed the question he is asking then no one but himself can answer it but perhaps he can come to an answer by asking himself the following:

Am I knowledgeable in HTML and CSS and am I comfortable hand crafting my markup? If he answers yes to this then perhaps he will prefer to use UiBinder or Desginer/UiBinder. If he answers no to this then perhaps he would prefer to use either Java or Designer/Java.

But like I said, no one can really answer that question except for himself. We can only provide our opinions on what and why we prefer.

    My advice would be to try both. The latter will give you more flexibility.
