Most modern browsers are pretty consistent with CSS2 and even CSS3. There are still some differences, but in a few instances where I ran into them, GWT could not help me. Sometimes you have to specify -moz or -webkit specific rules in your CSS file. In some situations (e.g. vertical-align in Firefox vs Chrome) the result is a few pixels off, but only a very good UI designer would even notice. I bet in most of the discussions that you read on CSS issues, people are talking about older versions of IE and Firefox 3.
There are many great GWT widgets that insulate you from major browser issues, especially LayoutPanel, PopupPanel, DialogBox, DataGrid. But it's too expensive to try and figure out solutions for minor issues, so they still remain. If fact, I think that trying to be fully cross-browser hurts GWT. GWT's popup panel is a table where every rounded corner is its own cell, even though all modern browsers support border-radius rules. I would love to see GWT drop support for IE -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
