Hi Jeff, Good question.
We are looking for a look and feel that GWT provides, also it keeps us from developing js libraries that are custom for delivering the presentation layer which GWT does very well. We are migrating from html template's to a more modern architecture to give our users a new face. I guese we could of used jQuery to ajax things up. I think we are wondering if it would be best to stick to plain ol GWT or use something like GWTEXT or some of the other widget libraries. The ext libs provide alot of widget functionality, but there has to be some compatibility issues lurking around the corner. We have a working interface now using a combination of GWT and html loaded into an iFrame, which is a worker area for user entry into the db. While we have concentrated on a staged implementation migrating the UI first then we can concentrate on the backend. Your comment is appreciated, surprising but welcome. When we investigated migration plans and an update to the legacy system we got stuck on GWT.
