It totally makes sense to use other libraries (with JSNI approach) to do something that GWT does not offer out of the box (yet i.e.) The problem is making a wrapper that is agnostic to the JS library version and making sure you are not writing your own (pure or not) javascript that is not cross-browser OK.
